Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro believes Ducati is able to make a “big difference” with its race and tyre management on Sundays after watching it lockout the top-five places in the British Grand Prix.
Espargaro had put in a stunning record-breaking lap in qualifying to take pole position for the Silverstone MotoGP sprint and grand prix, but he soon found out he had no chance of contending with the faster Ducatis on his Aprilia RS-GP, dropping to fourth at the start of the grand prix, behind three riders on the latest-spec GP24.
