Aprilia overhauled its V4-powered RS-GP over the winter, with its new aerodynamic concept turning heads when it was seen for the first time at the Sepang test last month.
The updated bike appears to be a clear step forward over 2023, with Espargaro enjoying a strong run to third in the half-distance race in Qatar on Saturday, finishing right behind race winner Jorge Martin (Pramac) and second-placed Brad Binder (KTM).
