Aleix and Bradley finished in the points in a race which was chaotic, to say the least. During the eighth lap on the Red Bull Ring, an incredible smash up brought out the red flag and forced a second start, for a second race, shortened to 20 laps. Starting from the tenth (Aleix) and fifteenth (Bradley) position on the grid, the two Aprilia riders concluded the Sunday race in the points, respectively in eleventh and fourteenth place.
This end result does not entirely satisfy Aleix, who felt perfectly at ease after the first start and less incisive in the second. Next week, once again on the Austrian circuit, the team will pick up from the good sensations of the first eight laps.
Bradley had an outstanding second start, moving into the top ten. The English rider then managed tyre wear with a prudent finale, where he fended off the attacks of his adversaries to finish in the points. ALEIX ESPARGARO' "I cannot be entirely satisfied. In the first race I felt very good, managing to maintain the pace of the best, but in the second, I did not find the same sensations. I didn’t want to switch to the medium tyre, so I had to use one soft with a few laps on it. Evidently, with a shortened race, our rivals were able to use a bit of extra grip that kept us from battling like we had during the first eight laps. In any case, I gave 100% and I’ll continue to do so. Maybe we just need to use our heads and not our hearts, getting the most out of the technical package." BRADLEY SMITH "I had two great starts and I am very pleased about that. The second race definitely went better, although towards the end I had to manage tyre wear and fuel a bit and that kept me from holding onto my advantage over Pirro and Márquez. In any case, overall it was a solid weekend, where we took some steps in the right direction, including during the race. It was a pity not to be able to use a new tyre for the second start like other riders did. I wanted to stay with the soft, but I didn’t have any others available. We need to keep working hard because in warm-up, the bike gave me the right feeling. It would be a step forward if we could manage to maintain that feeling in the afternoon with the higher temperatures too."

Although the position on the grid after qualifying is not the sensational one from Brno, Aleix Espargaró is optimistic at the end of the Austrian Saturday. On a track that has historically been complicated for Aprilia, the Spanish rider once again confirmed his improved feeling astride the 2020 RS-GP. An in-depth analysis of his performance demonstrates this. In a scenario where the pole position time has worsened compared to 2019, Aleix shaved six tenths off his best time from last season. This is an important and concrete signal even if we shift our attention to an analysis of the race pace.
Bradley also demonstrated substantial growth in terms of the technical package, which is possibly not as evident because of how young the project is. The constant changes to the setup which, on one hand contribute to increasing the team’s and riders’ knowledge of the new bike, on the other hand, do not make it simple to find the best lap time. These first races should be seen as an "investment", destined to bear fruit in the future. ALEIX ESPARGARO' "I'm quite satisfied, to be honest. The 2020 RS-GP has confirmed that it is a step ahead here too compared to last year. Let’s not forget that this track is less than ideal for us, so having a good feeling in Austria is very important for me. What race result can we aim for? I don’t see the top 10 as far off - to the contrary. Any worse result would leave a bitter taste in my mouth. The weather conditions will be fundamental, but above all, we will need to stay focused and avoid any mistakes on the important braking sections of this track." BRADLEY SMITH "It may seem strange, but we’re making progress. We are still in a phase where it is important to work on the balance of the bike, changing the setup often in order to figure out how this new bike will react. It’s a job divided up between Aleix and me. When you do this, doing the best times may become more complicated, but we are building a base for this season and for next year. I am pleased that I have not had any of the chattering problems we were worried about in Brno and here. For tomorrow, the goal is to stay in the group and not push past the limit. Riding in the race alongside the other riders is a fundamental opportunity to grow the 2020 RS-GP."

Here are two of the new gloves available in the new spring/summer collection from Furygan – like the complete Furygan range, both gloves have been developed in conjunction with Furygan’s Motion Lab – the internal development research centre at Furygan headquarters in Nîmes, France – and are available now.
Jet D3O and Jet D3O Lady
The CE-approved Jet D3O and Jet D3O Lady gloves combine an enviable price tag and specification list. They feature a fully leather palm, D3O protection for the metacarpals and reinforcement on the palm. The mix of textile and leather across the gloves allow for high levels of comfort and protection – with exposed zones during a crash carefully considered. There are Furygan Sensitive Science inserts on the fingertips, meaning that touchscreen devices can be used without removing the gloves.
The Jet D3O glove, priced at £39.99, is available in size S-3XL in black/white, black/red, black/blue, black/fluo green, black/orange and black/fluo yellow. The Jet D3O Lady glove, priced at £34.99, is available in sizes XS-XL and in a choice of black and black/pink.
Volt
With dynamic colours and high-quality finishing touches, it’s clear to see that the CE-approved Volt gloves have been inspired by Furygan’s racing heritage and expertise. Made from a mix of textile and leather, Volt gloves feature a 100% leather palm, metacarpal protection and reinforcements across the glove as well as pre-shaped fingers. They have Furygan Sensitive Science on the fingertips so that touchscreen devices can be used without needing to remove them.
Available in sizes S-3XL with an RRP of £59.99, the Volt gloves are in UK dealers now.
