For the 2025 season, the Aprilia Racing structure led by Massimo Rivola is preparing a major transformation in MotoGP with significant changes in the composition of its riders and personnel. Indeed, the emblematic figures Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales will give way to young talents Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi, bringing new life to the factory team. Additionally, in the TrackHouse Racing satellite team, Ai Ogura will succeed Miguel Oliveira, while Raul Fernandez will be the only one to continue driving the RS-GP…
In parallel, Aprilia reshuffles its technical team: after more than ten years of service,
Albesian Roman will leave his position as technical director, and it is
Fabiano Sterlacchini who will take over in November. With these cascading changes,
Aprilia could face challenges in terms of stability, a factor often essential to achieving consistent results in Motorcycle sport.
Asked about this during an official MotoGP broadcast, Aprilia Racing CEO,
Massimo Rivolaexpressed confidence in the direction the team is taking. “ You must believe in
yourselfyou must believe in your businessyou must believe in your people,” he said.
Massimo Rivola:
the company is more important than the individual »
« The company is more important than the individual.
We have a talented and motivated teamso I think it will work. But if I’m wrong, maybe it’s time for me to leave too » he added with a laugh.
This renewal represents a bold bet for
Apriliawhich could result in dazzling successes or a difficult period of adaptation. The integration of
Martin et Bezzecchi will surely bring new competitive energy, while
Sterlacchiniwith his experience, will seek to advance RS-GP with fresh perspectives.
Rivalwho oversaw the project
