Espargaro stormed to an historic first pole for Aprilia in the modern MotoGP era on Saturday at Termas de Rio Hondo and looks among the fastest on race pace following practice.
Aprilia has been on a steady trajectory towards the front of the field since last season, while Espargaro’s run to fourth in Qatar last month proved to be the closest the Italian marque has come to winning a race in the MotoGP era.
