While reigning MotoGP champion’s Ducati have opted to keep their factory riders on last year’s GP24 powerplant, engine progress has been cited as༺ one of the stand-out areas for A🍃prilia.

Aprilia was the only manufacturer other than Ducati t🌌o 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 Trac♛khouse’s Raul Fernandez on day one at Sepa🙈ng.

But fellow factory newcomer 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi kept Aprilia’s morale up by rising from ninth at Sepang to third during this week’s final test at൩ Buriram, ꦯwhen he was also fastest of those to try a Sprint simulation.

However, Aprilia was also challenging for the top of another ranking during the two days in Thailand: Top spee♋d.

Bezzecchi’s RS-GP was classifi🐎ed joint second for speed at the end of day one with a best of 336.4km/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 test ended with two Aprilias - Bezzecchi and test rider Lorenzo Savadori ag🎶ain on 336.4km/h for joint sec𝔍ond to Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia (338.5km/h).

“We are happy al🐭so 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 bett𝔍er in all areas, “but also on the straight.”

“The bike is c📖ompetitive, and the 2025 engine works very well everywhere,” agreed Bezzecchi.

Martin aims to return for the sea💙son-opening Thai Grand Prix which ♏starts with free practice at Buriram on February 28.
