Marco Bezzecchi will embark on a new chapter in his MotoGP career in 2025, moving to Aprilia where he will be a factory rider for the first time. Expectations are high for him, as they are for his future teammate Jorge Martín.
Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing, expressed his excitement on the championship’s official website: ‘I’m very excited, I’m happy to have Marco with us, I’m happy to have an Italian with us, I’m happy to have someone with a fighting spirit like him with us, and I’m happy to have a super couple of riders like Marco and Jorge. I can’t wait to start the new season‘.
The manager then commented: ‘I think he comes from a very competitive bike. The good thing is that he wanted to be with us and ride our bike. So I guess he saw the potential of our bike and I think he feels he can put in a good performance – I think he’ll put in a good performance‘.
Although Rivola acknowledges that Bezzecchi may need some time to adapt, he believes it won’t be long before he becomes fast: ‘Maybe it will take some time in the beginning to adapt, but I am convinced that it will become very fast very soon‘.
