Jakarta –
The puzzle has been answered as to who will be Jorge Martin’s partner in MotoGP 2024. Marco Bezzecchi has been contracted by Aprilia starting in 2025 to drive the latest Aprilia RS-GP.
Ahead of the 2024 Dutch MotoGP, Aprilia Racing announced a new racer, he is Marco Bezzecchi, an Italian racer.
Bezzechi, who is currently defending the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, chose to leave rather than stay on a motorbike that is currently superior on the track, the Desmosedici GP.
This VR46 academy graduate has signed a multi-year contract to race with Jorge Martin starting next season.
Aprilia’s dream has also come true, wanting a potential rider of the same nationality from Italy. Bezzecchi will be the Italian rider who races for the Noale factory team full time. Previously Aprilia also had Italiano but his status was as a test rider, namely Lorenzo Savadori.
“Welcome to one of Italy’s best talents, who has shown his abilities since his debut in the lower classes and especially last year in MotoGP, with extraordinary performances and even extraordinary wins,” said Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola in a statement quoted Monday (24/6/2024).
“We can’t wait to welcome Bez to Noale; the Italian bike and the Italian rider duo are very exciting, but more than that, the rider pairing that will be formed with Jorge. We are very happy with our rider line-up for 2025, Martín and Bezzecchi are our first choices “Because of their age, talent, tenacity and determination, together with them, we can write a new and important chapter in the history of Aprilia Racing,” he added.
Since arriving in the MotoGP class in 2022, Bezzecchi has collected nine podiums and three wins in main races. On the other hand, the 25 year old rider also finished in third place in the standings in his second season in 2023.
Now the racer with number 72 and Martin will complete the Aprilia factory team.
