Aprilia Racing Team Gresini riders Aleix Espargaro and Sam Lowes are ready for their next challenge, gearing up to race this weekend at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli – their second home event of the season.
Espargaro, who rode through the pain barrier at Silverstone following a karting accident ahead of the event, is feeling rested and ready to give it everything for the occasion – as is rookie teammate Lowes, after suffering with a foot injury after Brno. With successful tests undertaken for both riders at Misano, the team will want to take home some good points in the San Marino GP.
