A roaring 2026 for Aprilia Racing

Aprilia Racing officially unveiled the Aprilia RS-GP26, entrusted for the second year in a row to Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martín for the 2026 MotoGP season. The proudly Italian bike has a strong technological and sport identity which represents the cutting edge of a continuously developing project. The big change for the RS-GP26 livery, which maintains the iconic Aprilia Racing colours, is the presence of a noble symbol from our history – the lion which is part of Aprilia Racing’s DNA. Besides representing the strong ties with the territory, the Leone Alato – symbol of Venice, located just a few kilometres from Aprilia Racing headquarters in Noale – embodies values which fully reflect the identity of the team and its riders: power, strength, determination, and courage. It is the emblem of a team that never gives up, capable of stubbornly tackling difficulties and re-emerging even stronger and more steadfast. The goal for 2026 is to improve on the results from last season, the most victorious ever for Aprilia Racing, ending with second place in the Manufacturers Championship at 418 points, breaking the 400 barrier for the first time in its history, and third place in the Riders Championship with Marco Bezzecchi at 353 points – the best result ever for a rider in Aprilia Racing’s MotoGP history. Adding to this are numerous impressive statistics: 19 podiums in all, with 3 sprint race wins and 4 long race wins, 5 pole positions to tie the previous record, and the 300th win for the Noale-based manufacturer in the Australian GP. This milestone, which later increased to 302, confirmed Aprilia Racing as the most victorious European manufacturer in the history of World Motorcycle Grand Prix Racing.
