| SIXTH ROUND OF THE SEASON WITH MARCO BEZZECCHI AND JORGE MARTÍN ON HIS HOME TRACK | |||
| Aprilia Racing returns to the track on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, fresh from the historic Le Mans weekend that ended with a one-two-three finish by Jorge Martín, Marco Bezzecchi, and Ai Ogura. The weekend will also be followed by the second official tests of the season, scheduled for Monday on the Catalan track. Marco Bezzecchi is headed to Spain after another highly competitive weekend where he finished on the podium in Le Mans both in the sprint race and in the long race. Jorge Martín, on the other hand, will be tackling his home GP fresh from an extremely high-level performance on the French track where he took victory in the sprint race, as well as in the long race, 588 days after his last win, confirming his increasingly competitive feeling on the RS-GP26. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is a highly technical track where handling turns smoothly proves to be a decisive factor. It is 4.66 km long, with 8 right-handed turns and 6 left-handers. The first braking section is also significant – one of the most demanding in the championship – partly due to the 1,047 metres leading up to it. | |||
