Jorge Martin will wear the number one plate as the reigning MotoGP champion for Aprilia in 2025. The unveiling of Martin’s bike with the number one took place at Aprilia’s launch event held at the studios of Sky Italia, the Italian MotoGP broadcaster. This makes Aprilia the second team to reveal its 2025 colors following Trackhouse’s unveiling two days earlier. While the number one is rare in MotoGP due to riders like Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez sticking to their permanent numbers, Pecco Bagnaia used it for his title defense. Martin, who used #89, is now expected to use the number one after his title win, aligning with Aprilia’s opportunity to showcase it on their bike. Marco Bezzecchi joins the team as Martin’s teammate, supported by sponsors Monster Energy and Red Bull in an unchanged Aprilia livery with new sponsor Sterilgarda. The team aims to establish relationships between the riders, team, and bike as its short-term goal towards the ambition of winning the championship.
