| Aleix Espargaró, protagonist of a thrilling weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, finished his final race with Aprilia Racing in a solid fifth place. After starting from the second spot on the grid, the Granollers native rode an intense and heated race, with fourth place slipping away only on the penultimate lap. After eight years together, Aleix bids Aprilia farewell and ends his last MotoGP season with 163 points and eleventh place in the overall standings. It was a year characterised by memorable moments: a sprint race win in Barcelona, three podiums in the Qatar, Silverstone, and Austria sprint races, and two pole positions in Catalunya and Silverstone.
On the other hand, it was a complicated race for Maverick Viñales after a rough start from the seventh spot on the grid, after which he found himself in the rear guard. In spite of this, Viñales finished the race fifteenth. Maverick ends his 2024 season with 190 points and seventh place overall. This 2024 season was full of unforgettable moments: victory in the U.S.A. Grand Prix race, sprint race wins in the U.S.A. and Portimão, podium finishes in the Le Mans and Assen sprint races and a pole position in Austin. The 2024 season comes to a close with significant results for Aprilia Racing as well. The Manufacturer from Noale took third in the Constructors Championship with 302 points and fourth in the Teams Championship with 353 points. |
