Sports fans, get ready to celebrate as Aprilia has made a big announcement that is sure to shake up the MotoGP world. VR46 rider Marco Bezzecchi has signed a multi-year contract to join the factory MotoGP team in 2025, partnering with current rider Jorge Martin. This news has already caused a frenzy among racing enthusiasts and is a clear indication of Aprilia’s desire to dominate the sport.
As reported by Kosport Magazine, Bezzecchi will make the switch from Ducati’s satellite VR46 squad after three successful seasons. During this time, he has achieved three grand prix victories and even finished third in the standings in 2023. This impressive record has caught the attention of many teams, but Aprilia has secured his services for the foreseeable future.
For Bezzecchi, this is the realization of a lifelong dream to become a factory rider. He had initially hoped to work his way up the ranks within Ducati, but the chance to join another manufacturer was too good to pass up. Despite turning down a promotion to the Pramac team in 2024, Bezzecchi remained committed to VR46 and their partnership has paid off.
However, Ducati’s decision to sign six-time champion Marc Marquez for 2025 has closed the door on any opportunities for Bezzecchi to join the manufacturer’s roster. But this has given him the chance to join another Italian brand and become the first Italian rider in Aprilia’s factory team. It’s a match made in heaven and the fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
Kosport Magazine’s Take:
We can’t wait to see Bezzecchi in action alongside Martin in what promises to be an exciting new era for Aprilia. His move to the Italian team is not only a boost for their performance but also a boost for the sport itself. With an all-new line-up for the 2025 season, including Bezzecchi’s fellow countryman Jorge Martin, Aprilia has made a strong statement of intent.
Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia, expressed his excitement about the signing, saying, “Welcome aboard to one of the best Italian talents, who has demonstrated his worth from his debut in the lower categories and especially last year in MotoGP.” This sentiment is echoed by the fans, who are eagerly anticipating Bezzecchi’s arrival at Aprilia.
Kosport Magazine would like to extend a warm welcome to Bezzecchi and we can’t wait to see what he will achieve on the track with Aprilia. Our heartfelt congratulations to both Bezzecchi and Aprilia for making this exciting deal a reality.
