Aprilia Racing Unveils the RS-GP25 and New Rider Line-Up: The Dawn of a New Era

After a first look on track during the Montmeló tests, Jorge Martín, reigning MotoGP World Champion, and Marco Bezzecchi officially revealed the Aprilia RS-GP25, marking the start of a new chapter for Aprilia Racing with a strong, proudly Italian technical identity.

The 2025 season signals the dawn of a new era for Aprilia Racing, with the addition of two talented young riders: Jorge Martín, competing as the World No. 1 after his MotoGP title win, and Marco Bezzecchi, poised to showcase his immense potential in the premier class. Lorenzo Savadori will continue his vital role as test rider, building on his significant contributions to the RS-GP’s development.

The Aprilia RS-GP25 is a major evolution of Aprilia Racing’s MotoGP project, with all areas of the bike—air dynamics, chassis, electronics, and the V4 engine—carefully refined to achieve top-tier performance. The Noale technical team, led by Fabiano Sterlacchini, has developed an innovative machine that stays true to the brand’s DNA, positioning Aprilia as a strong contender in MotoGP.

Jorge Martín and Marco Bezzecchi will be supported by an exceptional team, including test rider Lorenzo Savadori, and joined by Raúl Fernández and 2024 Moto2 World Champion Ai Ogura from the Trackhouse team. The Trackhouse project, now a strategic partner to Aprilia, will contribute valuable data and insights to further advance the RS-GP25. For the first time in history, Aprilia Racing will debut in MotoGP with four bikes, each with the latest specifications
