MotoGP | GP Qatar Day 1: Lorenzo Savadori, “The shoulder is reacting well”

MotoGP GP Qatar Aprilia Gresini 2021 – Not yet optimal physical condition for Lorenzo Savadori in free practice for the Qatar Grand Prix, the inaugural event of the 2021 MotoGP world championship. The Italian from the Aprilia team, due to his recently operated shoulder, was unable to make the most of the potential of the 2021 RS-GP, an aspect which did not allow him to go beyond 22nd position in the general time ranking.

“The most important thing today is certainly the condition of the shoulder, which is reacting well and this reassures me even though it is not yet perfectly healed. As for the bike, we identified the aspect to work on, namely acceleration. At the moment I don't fully exploit the grip of the rear tyre, in this category it's exactly where the difference can be made. On the one hand it is good to know the direction to focus on, on the other hand the solution may not be so immediate. We have some ideas and we will put them into practice tomorrow."
