Aprilia's first testing laps since the coronavirus lockdown saw Bradley Smith, Lorenzo Savadori and Ma🅠x Biaggi on track at Misano last week.

The two-𒀰day outing was interrupted by rain, but Smith was able to complete a shakedown check for each of the RꦚS-GPs, which had been rebuilt since the end of the Qatar MotoGP test on February 24.

Aprilia told mahbx.com that the bikes are thus 'ready for the ne𒅌xt test in Misano' when newly re-signe💦d team leader Aleix Espargaro will join Smith on track from June 23-25. The other European manufacturers, KTM and Ducati, are also expected to be present as preparations continue for MotoGP's delayed season-opener at Jerez in July.

With Smith potentially set f🌜or a race rider role this season, pending the outcome of Andrea Iannone's CAS appeal, Savadori has been recruited to heꦗlp with Aprilia MotoGP testing duties.

Savadori, who made his RS-GP debut at January's Sepang outing, was testing the RSV4 1100 for the Italian Superbike Championship on the openin🍃g day at Misano, before getting more laps on the 2019-spec MotoGP bike during day two.

Biaggi meanwhile took to the track on his RSV4 X, before the rain arrivܫed on day one.

Aprilia said the Roman Emperor was riding the limited edition 225hp/165kg machine j🅠ust for fun at Misano, but that the feedback provided by the retired four-time 250cc world champion and double World Su💜perbike champion is always welcome.

Aprilia thus joins fellow concession manufacturer KTM in having completed a ꧟private Moto💟GP test since the end of the coronavirus 'lockdown'.
