Aprilia's proudly all-Italian challenge in the MotoGP World Championship begins from a base that is more solid than ever. In fact, the work done by the Noale Racing Department during the 2017 season came together in the consistent growth of the young RS-GP project which, once again characterised by the Italian livery designed by Aldo Drudi, has been revamped and advanced in every area for the 2018 season. The final part of the season was a turning point for Aprilia. The sixth place earned by Aleix Espargaró at Aragón with a gap of less than six seconds behind the winner, followed immediately by excellent performance in Japan (fourth in qualifying) and Australia (best time at the end of the first day of practice) highlighted clear progress, then halted by the unfortunate injury Espargaró suffered as he was battling in the lead group during the Phillip Island GP. For the 2018 season, Aprilia is keen to pick up from there, from a bike that maintains the same construction philosophy as its forerunner, but refined and advanced in every aspect and with an extremely motivated pair of riders, fully aware that they have everything they need to aim consistently for the top spots in the rankings. Alongside Aleix Espargaró will be Scott Redding. The English rider, born in 1993, is coming into his fifth MotoGP season, the first on a factory team.
One software company from Manitoba, Canada called the Myera Group has found a novel way to transform the extra heat generated from cryptocurrency mining into a way to provide heat for greenhouses and fisheries in the cold Canadian winter. The heat generated from over 100 Bitcoin mining computers is used to provide heat for the 20,000 square foot warehouse and grow plants and sustain fish tanks. The Myera Group started off as a software development company focused on mining Bitcoins, but decided to expand their business by harnessing the excess heat from the data centres and servers and using it for agricultural purposes.
