As was hoped, Marco Melandri and Jan Witteveen met to sort out their differences yesterday at the Racing Department of Noale. Marco was called in to clarify the situation which had, to some extent, marred the weekend at Le Mans.

Marco Melandri expressed all his regret for his recent statements to the Press, in which he had referred to his state of unease.

The current technical progress of the official RSW 250 was examined together with Ing. Witteveen and the Racing Department technicians, as were the solutions to be adopted so that Marco can improve his feeling with the bike.

There has always been great mutual esteem between Marco and Aprilia, and this was fully confirmed and it could be said that the of minds is now stronger than ever. Both have a common goal: to fight tooth and nail for victory in the world 250 class.

All attention is now focused on the next round of the World Championship: the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, where Aprilia and Marco Melandri intends to play a truly leading role.
