The second consecutive weekend at MotorLand de Aragón started off solidly for Aprilia. Two tenths of a second faster than a week ago, Aleix confirmed his top-10 placing in the combined standings, despite a harmless crash during FP2.
Bradley Smith also improved by no less than 4 tenths compared to last week on his flying lap and even more noticeably in terms of pace and feeling.
Bradley Smith:
"I'm quite satisfied with our work today. We tried a few new things, including a rear shock, which gave us good feedback. I'm a bit disappointed about not being able to take full advantage of the new tyre. Unfortunately, in the final stages of FP2 I found myself behind some slower riders and that basically ruined my laps. With the medium, on the other hand, I found a good feeling - decidedly better than last week - and that is a good start."
