Aprilia Racing officially unveiled the RS-GP25 in a highly anticipated presentation held in Milan, marking the second team to reveal its 2025 MotoGP livery.
The event not only highlights the aesthetic evolution of the Aprilia RS-GP but also signifies the dawn of a new era for the team, which has made notable changes to its rider lineup and technical structure.
Aprilia Racing’s unveiling ceremony was graced by reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin and his new teammate Marco Bezzecchi, both of whom are set to take on the challenges of the upcoming season with renewed vigor and ambition.
The Aprilia RS-GP25 features a striking new design that builds on the team’s legacy while incorporating modern elements to enhance its visual appeal.
The 2025 MotoGP livery retains the iconic green and white colors associated with Aprilia but introduces fresh accents that reflect the team’s commitment to innovation and competitiveness.
The redesign aims not only to attract attention on the track but also to symbolize the team’s aspirations for success in the upcoming season.
With every detail meticulously crafted, from the aerodynamic fairings to the sleek bodywork, the RS-GP is poised to make a statement both in terms of performance and aesthetics.
Jorge Martin’s transition to Aprilia Racing has been one of the most talked-about moves in the paddock. Having made history as the first rider to clinch a MotoGP championship with an independent team, Martin’s decision to don the #1 plate for 2025 is emblematic of his ambition to defend his title.
His collaboration with Bezzecchi, a promising talent from the VR46 Academy, adds an exciting dynamic to the team. Both riders bring a wealth of experience and skill, making them formidable competitors as they prepare for a demanding season ahead.
The technical advancements in the Aprilia RS-GP25 are noteworthy, reflecting the team’s commitment to remaining at the forefront of MotoGP technology. Under the guidance of Technical Director Fabiano Sterlacchini, every aspect of the bike has been scrutinized and refined.
Improvements have been made across various domains, including aerodynamics, chassis design, electronics, and engine performance. The V4 engine has undergone extensive development work to ensure that it delivers optimal power and efficiency on race day.
This meticulous attention to detail is aimed at enhancing Aprilia’s competitiveness against other leading manufacturers in MotoGP.
As part of this new chapter, Aprilia Racing has also made strategic changes in its management structure. The departure of three-time race winner Aleix Espargaro from full-time racing has opened doors for fresh talent within the team.
Espargaro will now serve as a test rider for Honda, allowing him to contribute his expertise while paving the way for new riders like Bezzecchi. This shift highlights Aprilia’s focus on nurturing emerging talent while leveraging experienced riders’ insights to improve overall performance.
The excitement surrounding this new lineup is palpable among fans and analysts alike. Jorge Martin expressed his enthusiasm regarding this opportunity, stating that he feels “incredibly motivated” to achieve great results with Aprilia.
“I am super excited by this new challenge: to win with Aprilia Racing,” Martin said. “My goals are very clear; now we must concentrate on being the best version of ourselves – that goes for Aprilia and for me personally.
“I’m in the right place to do great things, it will be an exciting challenge, we are all very determined. I really feel the warmth of being part of this team, and I think that this is the perfect place for me.
“We are all thrilled to be starting this new season.”
Martin’s confidence is matched by Marco Bezzecchi’s eagerness to represent such an esteemed brand in MotoGP.
“I’m really happy I joined this team, and Aprilia as a whole,” Bezzecchi said. “It’s going to be fantastic, and I’m really happy to be representing such an important brand.
“It’s a great source of pride for me, both as a person and as a rider, to become an official rider. I can’t wait to get onto the track, to work hard and to give it some gas, and try to achieve good results.
“We are all really motivated, and that’s something that I really value. I’m really fired up – see you in Sepang for the test!”.
In addition to their impressive rider lineup, Aprilia Racing continues to foster strong relationships with key sponsors who play a vital role in supporting their endeavors.
The presence of new sponsors such as Italian dairy company Sterilgarda – which was prominent on the bikes of Aprilia’s satellite team Trackhouse last year – not only aids in financial backing but also enhances brand visibility during races.
