Martin goes to the return plan – but in April is not all right

Defending world champion George martin Enjoyed the first day riding in the factory Aprilia RS-GP in Qatar. Spaniard was excited after his comeback on Friday that he exited and at the same time he could expect real. But what can happen that it can be stopped for consideration – after coming down from high – the other three were shown poor by riders. Three of his colleagues placed him in the lower reach of the time … Despite full fitness and thousands of kilometers in the saddle.

At first it made it clear that he would not fit 100% and would reduce his way to return to competition in Qatar, Martin was not surprised to see his first session back at 20th place, set at a speed of more than two seconds Mark marksIn the light of his injuries, many people expected to see him even far away from the fastest man.

After Martin’s first run in the FP1, he received an immediate visit from the Motogp Medical Director Angel Charte. Although he needed help in removing his helmets and gloves, he rejected the doctor’s inquiry. Martin was more concerned to get the most from his RS-GP, and proceeded to complete a stable session. This was something in which his boss Masimo Rivola smiled.

“The first run was good,” the CEO of Aprilia commented during the session. “I was nervous, as I think everyone was with him! But it was good to see a ready rider. (When George came back to the garage), he said ‘I don’t need you, doctors – we need to talk about technical goods!”

In the evening practice session, where a place in Q2 was theoretically at stake for Martin, despite being involved in fun with a new soft rear at the end of the world champion session remained close to the back of the ground. Once again he could not do better than only the 20th, only with Augusto Fernandez (Pramak Yamaha) and Sokyat (LCR Honda) Behind him.

The fastest time of the Martin season was 1.568S, which was determined by the VR46 Ducati Rider Franco MorbideliHowever, he was well within a second of the 10th-faster rider and the final automatic Q2 participant. Johan Zarko (LCR Honda).

While reflecting the day, Martin completed the race on Sunday – which was a major question mark – maybe not out of reach.

“I am really tired from today. It is really difficult to ride a Motogp for the first day.

“But I think it was not bad. The goal was to try my physical condition, to try the Motogp bike, and I was able to do it all day, so it’s already a success. So, yes, yes, I feel good. I think we think we think is better than what we expect.

“In the afternoon I was able to do two laps and then I needed to stop. In the evening I was able to do four or five, so I think the step was very big. Now I need to understand how I get up tomorrow, how I improve in the weekend, and see if we can continue working in this way.

“I don’t know if I could run on Sunday. If you had asked me this morning, I would have said that it was impossible. Now it was a possibility. But let’s see how I get up tomorrow.”

But when this was the case of ‘Job Dun’ for Martin, his limited ambitions, his factory Aprilia Team-Met Marco BezchiThe heavy attempt put the Spaniel day in Stark perspective. The hard start of Bezchi for the season was spoiled in Qatar on Friday, where their lack of speed through corners was almost free exercise 1.

The margin of Beaschi over two tenth of a second on its semi-fit and underprapsed team-met raised real concerns about their riding performance. At the same time, it will leave the observers thinking how much losses there is for Martin’s speed, it is down for their injury and how much it can be down for the bike-which will be a more worrying problem in the long term.

Martin today accepted himself to leave a 10% difference. Being so, he would probably like to see his team partner and trackhouse, Aprilias further. This will expect them some capacity when he returns to full fitness. However, after the practice, the prophet created an all-round grime reading for the Aprilia Brigade: Trackhouse Duo was barely better than Bezchi.

A Ogura The best was RS-GP, but it was only 15th, also a significant three tenth by making the top 10. Raul Fernandez The second trackhouse was 16th on the bike, although it was not a major deviation from their normal position in the Peking order.

Ogura may be expected to improve throughout the weekend, as much as he did in the last race in the USA. He, finally, in his fraudulent season. It would not be surprising to see him secretly in Q2 via Q1 route on Saturday. Most of the factory rider bezecchi’s failure to overtake the independent bike that performs so minor.

While an argument may be that the Aprilia package is struggling only on the losel, it should be noted that Alex asparagarao Last season, the factory bike rode on the podium in this race. Ogura, for one, is not buying the idea that there is a technical mountain to climb.

“Comparing the data, where I struggle, where the beige struggles, where Raul struggles … it’s all different,” when asked about the dark day of Aprilia, sometimes the Japanese crook said. “So I think it’s not by bike, it is from riders.”

Martin was not in any mood to find a mistake with a bike – although nothing would be likely to reduce its souls after going back to the track.

“Earlier (going out on the track) I was really scared, let’s say, or was nervous, because I didn’t know what was expected. The final feeling with the bike (sepang pre-season test) was terrible, so I was really afraid of the same feeling.

“But as soon as I went on the track, already in the first lap, I was just touching with the elbow, I was feeling again, so I am happy.”

Bezecchi, who has come to criticize the appropriate amounts for his middle uplift performance as a stand-in leader of the immortal effort in Martin’s absence, did not share the oagura evaluation-uncertainly.

“The day was a bit difficult,” he said. “I was struggling because we have big problems with instability here, so I am unable to work hard. This is a problem that we are doing a lot everywhere, but on this track we are feeling it even more. I need to try and be more liquid, but it is a bit complicated at this time.”

Although you assess the Friday of Aprilia in Qatar, the Nole factory can only be happy for its star new recruitment. Martin’s development input should be helped both bezecher and package as a complete step in the right direction.
