Aprilia admits losing “two riders is not ideal”, but “we have to be optimistic”
Massimo Riꦇvoꦛla says expectations for Aprilia’s newest recruit Marco Bezzecchi are high after poaching him away from Ducati.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi will complete a formidable factory Aprilia MotoGP line-up in 2025 after joining 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin in leaving Ducati for the Noalꦡe-based manufacturꦅer.
Bezzecchi signed with the Italian brand on Monday, which means he wi💝ll leave the VR46 team to become a factory rider in MotoGP for the first time.
2024 has been somewhat of a disaster for Bezzecchi following a su👍perb second seas🌺on in MotoGP in 2023.
His adaptation to the GP23 bi🐼ke is still proving problematic, however, Rivola expects big things from the Italian who was a title contender for much of last season.
“He is coming from a very competitive bꦿike but the good thing is that he wanted to be with us and ride our bike,” said Rivola.
“He saw the potential of our bike and feels he can delive💛🎀r a good performance.
“I think he wil𓆏l deliver a good perf🍒ormance. He will maybe need a bit of time at the beginning to adapt but I’m convinced he will be fast very soon.”
While the line-up of Martin and Bezzecchi could rival that of Francesco Bagnaia 🎃and Marc Marquez at Lenovo Ducati, the caveat is that Aprilia’s duo will both be brand new to the RS-GP.
This could impact their results early on, but Rivola is remaining optimistic despite calling🍬 it ‘not ideal’ to change both factory riders.
Rivola added: “Changing two riders is not ideal. Continuity usually means more performance but when you get two talents like that you have to be very optimistic and know that you have to fight fo♉r the championship.
“We have two of the best talents in the♚ last few seasons and can’t make꧒ excuses not to give them the best bike.”
