Given Aprilia had to start afresh for its 2025 MotoGP line-up, it’s secured a spectacular line-up in Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin. Here’s what the team’s revealed so far about how it pulled the deals off
Aprilia has secured Marco Bezzecchi alongside Jorge Martin for the 2025 MotoGP season, forming a strong ‘superteam’. Bezzecchi and Martin were former Moto3 rivals who raced on satellite Ducatis last season, with Martin currently leading the standings in 2024. Bezzecchi, however, has struggled this year, prompting team principal Massimo Rivola to address the media. Despite Bezzecchi’s underperformance, Rivola believes in his talent and hopes for a return to form. Rivola had hoped to retain Maverick Vinales but respects his decision to join KTM’s Tech3 team for 2025. Aprilia is focused on moving forward and achieving success in the rest of the 2024 season.
