Why Ducati could have an advantage over Aprilia at Aragon GP

Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia and Fabio di Giannantonio believe their bikes have more potential than Aprilia's at the upcoming Aragon Grand Prix. The anti-clockwise circuit, with its grippy surface, could help Ducati riders bounce back from a difficult weekend at Silverstone. While Marc Marquez leads the championship, Bagnaia is confident that Ducati riders will perform well, citing the track layout's resemblance to Brno.

Aprilia has scored seven wins this year, while Ducati has taken five. However, VR46's Fabio di Giannantonio believes the advantage on low-grip tracks won't be as relevant at Aragon, which has one of the highest levels of grip on the calendar. Di Giannantonio urges Ducati not to focus on paper-based advantages and instead concentrate on improving their package with rider and bike performance.
