A tumultuous few weeks for Aprilia began with the Noale factory losing its ‘Captain’168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Aleix Espargaro to retirement in 2025.

Then came the coup of signing title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin from Pramac Ducati as Espargaro’s replacement, only for current race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales to pledge his future with Tech3 KTM.

The final piece of the Aprilia factory team puzzle is now complete with multi 2023 race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi agreeing to take Vinales’ place next season.

Speaking on the latest ltxcn.top MotoGP podcast, just before the officialꦇ annou𒉰ncement of the Bezzecchi-Aprilia deal, MotoGP editor Pete McLaren said:

“Th🔯e Bezzecchi deal, which we're all expecting, makes sense.

“Be🍒zzecchi has always said🐽 he wants to be a factory rider and this is the last competitive ‘race-winning’ factory seat still available for 2025.

“The Ducati team seats are full for the next two years, the same for KTM. Martin♈ has one of the Aꦯprilia rides and this is the other.

“So it's Bezzecchi’s big🍃 chance and I think he’s🦹 got to take it.

“I know there are people 🅷that might say he could get a factory-spec Ducati at VR46 next year, if Pramac move to Yamaha and Ducati redistribute those bikes.

“But I think even then, if you really want to be a full factory MotoGP rider, this is 🤡𒊎the chance. 

"It ti🍷cks all the boxes if you are Marco Bezzecchi.

“Maybe the deal is alrea🐎dy done and we’re just waiting for the announcement…

“But it makes sense for me and let’s see what Bezzecchi can do t💎his weekend at Assen, where he was seco𒀰nd to Francesco Bagnaia last year.

“And fඣor Aprilia this weekend, we know their bike has been really good in the highspeed cor🔥ners through the final sector at Assen.

“Unfortunately, they seem to have lost a bit of that cor🍃ner speed to improve the hard braking performance this year. And there are no huge braking areas at Assen.

“So it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out, espec🃏ially in that final sector where Aleix has been so good in the past on the RS-GP.

“And of course, Trackhouse rider Raul Fernandez will still be on the ‘🃏23 bike, so he might be one to watch through there.”
