MotoGP manager claims Aprilia already has better bike than Ducati
Veteran MotoGP rider manager Carlo Pernat believes Aprilia’s 2025 RS-GP was superior to the Ducati that clinched the championship. Despite Ducati’s strong performance, with all three world titles and 17 wins, the 2025 Ducati posed challenges for riders like Pecco Bagnaia and Fabio Di Giannantonio. Aprilia had its most successful MotoGP season, securing four wins and finishing second in the manufacturers’ standings. Pernat acknowledges Marc Marquez’s impact on Ducati but questions if it will be enough to compete with Aprilia in the upcoming season. He praises Marco Bezzecchi’s outstanding 2025 season and highlights the rider’s remarkable growth and determination.
