MotoGP talented star is back..

Aprilia has become the latest MotoGP manufacturer to secure its own ‘superteam’ line-up for 2025, adding Marco Bezzecchi alongside Jorge Martin.

They’re former Moto3 title rivals and both mounted title bids on satellite Ducatis last season. But while Martin has stepped up another level in 2024 and currently leads the standings, Bezzecchi has slumped this year.

That was one of the key topics addressed when team principal Massimo Rivola spoke with the media in the wake of the Bezzecchi announcement. Here’s more on that and everything else we learned.

This season has really failed to live up to the expectations Bezzecchi’s title-fighting 2024 campaign created.

By now last year he’d racked up two wins. But he’s only scored a single podium so far in 2024 and has perhaps been the biggest indicator of how disadvantaged the 2023 Ducati now seems to be compared to the latest spec.
