The man behind Aprilia's success |
|
|
'A MotoGP bike is an aeroplane that flies on the ground!' |
These are happy days for Aprilia, which leads the MotoGP constructors' championship for the first time in its history. And there's no one better to tell its story than race manager Paolo Bonora, who joined Aprilia in 2002 to do pioneering electronics work on the Cube MotoGP bike No one has worked on Aprilia's MotoGP project for as long as Paolo Bonora — this is his 25th year with the Noale manufacturer.
Bonora is an electronics engineer, so his first job at Noale was writing software to develop camshafts for the RS Cube, Aprilia's famously wild first four-stroke MotoGP bike. After the Cube project was shut down at the end of 2004, he wrote the first traction control software for 250cc GP bikes. Then he worked on the RSV4 superbike that took Max Biaggi and Sylvain Guintoli to the WSBK title.
