Maverick Vinales has sounded the alarm on Aprilia’s deteriorating performance in MotoGP, labeling their recent form as “worse and worse.” The Spaniard endured a dismal British Grand Prix, falling from eighth on the grid to a disappointing 13th-place finish, his worst result of the season.
Team-mate Aleix Espargaro, who claimed victory at Silverstone last year, could only manage sixth this time around, nearly ten seconds adrift of race winner Enea Bastianini. This stark decline from Aprilia’s early-season promise has left Vinales demanding urgent action to rectify the situation.
Maverick Vinales is perplexed by Aprilia’s dramatic decline in performance, particularly the RS-GP’s excessive tyre wear. The Spaniard, once a Ducati conqueror, now finds himself unable to match the pace of the dominant Italian manufacturer.
Despite riding on the limit, Vinales is witnessing a significant drop in lap times and tyre life compared to previous seasons. The situation is worsening, and the Aprilia rider believes the team must conduct a thorough investigation to reverse this trend.
With Ducati sweeping the top five at Silverstone and Aprilia struggling outside the top 10, the pressure is mounting for the Noale-based outfit to find a solution.
