“I am very happy about this agreement. From next season we will be participating as the Aprilia Racing Factory Team. This opens up new and hopefully great opportunities and we have a lot of additional work to do. It is an obvious step that we are about to take when we see the first positive signs of the hard work in Noale, especially for our structure and, consequently, for our beautiful RS-GP bikes. At this point, our thoughts and gratitude go to Gresini Racing, who have been with us over these years. With fond memories of Fausto, I wish the team and all of its employees every success for the coming seasons”, comments Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing, on the new agreement.
