Mugello MotoGP Sunday Subscriber Notes: The Changing Of The MotoGP Guard

Mugello MotoGP Sunday Subscriber Notes: The Changing Of The MotoGP Guard Is the Aprilia now a better bike than the Ducati? "I cannot answer if it's better or worse, because what I feel is like I'm not squeezing all the juice out of the Ducati," Marc Márquez said, after groping for a phrase to describe where he has been physically since the start of the season. " I still think it has more juice. So I need to push the bike more." Marc Márquez was the only Ducati rider not to clearly acknowledge the superiority of the Aprilia RS-GP, but his answer says more about how he sees his own fitness, rather than the relative levels of the Ducati and the Aprilia. Márquez' shoulder has limited his ability to extracUnt the maximum potential from the Ducati Desmosedici GP26, so he won't know whether the Aprilia is better until his shoulder is stronger again. That will take a while, but the good news is that it will happen.
