Aprilia reveal signing Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi “a bit of a risk”
Aprilia CEO𒊎 Massimo Rivola admits having two new riders in 2025 creates “a bit of a risk”.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro is retiring from MotoGP at the end of the current season, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales shocked Aprilia by deciding to join KTM.
Aprilia instead has signed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin, current leader of the world championship, and fellow Ducati rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi.
Discussing bot🏅h deals, Rivola told MotoGP.com: “About Jorge it was quite a fast one in Mugello. We found out that Jorge was not the first choice for Ducati and he was quite happy to come to Aprilia.
“Marco was afte♌r Maverick decided to leave. We saw in the market what was the best choice and Marco was happy to join us. We found the d🌜eal very quickly.”
While there’s no d🌺oubt about the level of talent that Martin and Bezzecchi possess, having two new riders on their factory bikes is a risk, admits Rivola.
“Normally, I🥀 would say it is not a smart move to change two riders, but when you 🔥have such good talent and young hungry guys, I think it is going to be a winning situation,” said Rivola.
“It’s a bit of a risk because in the beginning maybe you waste a bit of time ⛄understanding them and them understanding the bike.
“But then I have no doubts about their talent, speed and the fact they want to win. In order to be ready to win next year we stiღll need to push this ye🌠ar.
“The rest of the ch💟ampion🎐ship is quite long and still Aleix and Maverick want to show their speed.”
Does that mea🐭n more pressure is on Trackhouse to keep continuity within their ranks to aid Aprilia’s data gathering?
Rivola hinted he would like ♛the American team to keep their current line-up, but that it’s a decision🅠 for Team Principal Davide Brivio and owner Justin Marks.
Rivola said: “I w🍌ould🎐 like it to be like that. That is going to be Trackhouse’ choice.
“I’𒀰m speaking to Davide every day and I hope that Raul [Fer꧋nandez] and Miguel [Oliveira] can stay in the project.”
