Crunch Aprilia noticed "Shockwave" - and it's not Jorge Martin's injury

A big setback from Aprilia was determined – and it is in addition to Jorge Martin's difficulties.

The MotoGP champion Martin was Aprilias Star -Signal, but its title defense is already in ruin due to a flood of injuries.

He first injured a delicate bone in his hand, which excluded him from the first rounds, but when he returned to Qatar, a scary crash left it with broken ribs and a broken lung.

Nevertheless, the unfortunate Aprilia was reminded of another significant blow that you have absorbed.

“Losing Romano Albinsiano was a big deal,” said Neil Hodgson from TNT Sports.

“He was the leader of the project. He was the Gigi Dall'igna from Aprilia.

“He had been there for a long time. Maybe that sent a shock wave.”

Albesiano exchanged his job as Aprilia's technical director against Honda, where his influence this year was apparently already felt.

Honda's promotion in the right direction is in contrast to the difficulties of Albersiano's former employers in Italy.

Fabiano Sterlacchini replaced Albesiano in Aprilia and joined KTM after a stay.

Jorge Martin's first Aprilia feedback was good

The highest Aprilia driver in the MotoGP classification is Marco Bezzcchi in ninth place.

But for Aprilia it is not all fate and darkness.

“Martin was satisfied with the bike,” Sylvain Guintoli told TNT Sports about the first rounds of the champion since leaving Ducati.

“His first comment in Qatar was in Italian:” The frontend is scary! “

“As in, scary good!

“Although he was in pain and couldn't ride his bike as he wanted.

“He was full of praise and it is so a shame that he cannot express himself on the bike and we haven't seen it yet.

“Massimo Rivola knows that. That's why there is no pressure.”

Martin's efforts in Qatar were celebrated before his crash in the Grand Prix. Aprilia offers hope for its later comeback.

“It was incredible, I thought what he was doing,” said Hodgson.

“I really mean that I am not only positive because the poor boy had three terrible accidents.
