While reigning MotoGP champion’s Ducati have opted to keep their factory riders on last year’s GP24 p🌜owerplant, engine progress has been cit﷽ed as one of the stand-out areas for Aprilia.

Aprilia was the only manufacturer other than D☂ucati to claim race victories last year, once in a Grand Prix and three times in Sprints courtesy of former riders Maverick Vinales and Aleix 🦩Espargaro.

The new year began disastrously with injuries for new superstar signing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and Trackhouse’s Raul Fernandez on day one at🌼 Sepang🍬.

But fellow factory newcomer 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi kept Aprilia’s morale ꦍup by rising from ninth at Sepang to third during this week’s final test at Buriram, when he was also fastest of those to try a Sprint simula𒁃tion.

However, Ap𓄧rilia was also challenging for the top of another ranking during the two days in Thailand: Top speed.

Bezzecchi’s RS-GP was classified joint second for✅ speed at the end of day one with a best of 336.4ꦡkm/h, putting the Italian 1.1km/h behind Pedro Acosta’s KTM.

Acosta and Bezzecchi repeated those figures on the morning of day two,💮 before the testඣ ended with two Aprilias - Bezzecchi and test rider Lorenzo Savadori again on 336.4km/h for joint second to Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia (338.5km/h).

“We are happy also because the 2025 engine🧸 is much better compared to the 🍬24,” said Savadori, who took on some of Martin’s testing duties.

The Italian added the engine was better in all🦩 areas, “but also🔥 on the straight.”

“Th𒉰e bike is competitive, and the 2025 engine works very wel𒆙l everywhere,” agreed Bezzecchi.

Martin aims to return 🌳for the season-opening Thai Grand Prix which 🔜starts with free practice at Buriram on February 28.
