The Italian dream team reminds fans of when Rossi joined Ducati, a brief stint that many had expectations, which left many fans heartbroken. Now, with Marco Bezzecchi announcing his move to Aprilia Racing for 2025 has fans on high expectations again, looking forward to a great season. Bezzecchi will be joining his new teammate Jorge Martín, who will also make his debut on an Aprilia after moving from Ducati.
Both riders have made the move to the factory Aprilia team after riding for satellite Ducati teams, and Aprilia is looking forward to winning the championship in 2025.
Speaking of the move, Massimo Rivola said, “Welcome aboard to one of the best Italian talents, who has demonstrated his worth from his début in the lower categories and especially last year in MotoGP, with outstanding performances and even breakaway victories. We can’t wait to embrace Bez in Noale; the Italian bike and Italian rider duo are extremely exciting, but even more so is the rider pair which will be formed with Jorge.”
He added, “We are really happy with our line-up for 2025, Martín and Bezzecchi were our first choices for their age, talent, grit, and determination. With them, we can write a new and important chapter in the history of Aprilia Racing”.
So far in the 2024 MotoGP season, Jorge Martin leads with 171 points, followed by factory Ducati rider Bagnaia in second with 153 points, and Greseni Racing’s Marquez in third with 136 points. Bezzecchi currently stands 11th in the overall championship with 46 points.
