The premier class competition in MotoGP this season presents a fierce battle involving the Borgo Panigale factory and the Noale squad in the world championship fight. Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola spoke openly about the intense competitive dynamics following a series of heated track incidents involving top riders.
A tense incident colored the Saturday sprint race session when a corner clash caused their leading rider to crash. The garage atmosphere heated up due to the incident, but with a cool head, the team boss provided an in-depth evaluation to SkySport regarding their overall team performance throughout the season.
Massimo Rivola openly acknowledged the brilliance of the eight-time world champion who dominated maximum points acquisition during Saturday sessions. "I would say it is clear that we have too many sprints. Years ago we would have been in a different standings position, but that said, we have to learn to manage the weekend better," Rivola stated analyzing the competition.

Regarding the controversial incident involving Marco Bezzecchi, management emphasized that their rider did not commit a major mistake deserving of blame. Nevertheless, they regretted missing out on maximum results despite having highly competitive bike speed across various rounds.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the racing calendar, the Italian factory camp refuses to give up and praised the hard work of all mechanics back at the factory. "Did we lose a lot of points? Yes, but I prefer to be in this situation than having a slow bike and slow riders," he concluded wrapping up the evaluation.
