The Aprilia has been nothing short of awful all season, and as I've been saying often, the team is clearly suffering financial problems. The bike is not developing at all, and the team boss is saying finances are being stretched.
If results don't pick up next year, and there is nothing to suggest that they will, IMO Aprilia will pull the plug on their MotoGP operation. Why spend millions of dollars on a programme that's draining resources that could keep their domination of 250s and 125s, which is the main area Aprilia are concerned with anyway...
