Aprilia has explained why it struggled so much at the recent Malaysian MotoGP
Aprilia boss Paolo Bonora revealed that the Malaysian MotoGP weekend in 2025 was described as one of the worst for the team. Despite coming off strong performances, the progress stalled at Sepang with Marco Bezzecchi finishing in 11th place. The team’s data analysis showed that they reached the optimal bike set-up too late and also blamed the tire choice for Sunday’s struggles. Bonora mentioned that a deeper analysis showed that a different tire choice could have resulted in a better race position for Bezzecchi. The nature of the 2025 RS-GP requires more time to set up on Fridays at certain circuits, but overall, this approach helps them better understand race pace and achieve more points.
