A 2025 OF RECORDS: SECOND IN THE MANUFACTURERS CHAMPIONSHIP AND THIRD IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH MARCO BEZZECCHI
The 2025 MotoGP season ended with Marco Bezzecchi's victory on Sunday at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia. As the most successful year in Aprilia Racing's history, this year marked a significant milestone.
Marco Bezzecchi was one of the season's undeniable heroes. The Italian rider overcame an initial phase of RS-GP25 adaption in his debut season riding an Aprilia, followed by steady improvement with a pivotal moment in the Jerez tests. Bezzecchi became one of the most competitive riders in the competition after developing a strong bond with the Aprilia. With three long race victories (Silverstone, Portimão, and Valencia), three sprint race victories (Misano, Mandalika, and Phillip Island), fifteen podium finishes overall, and five pole positions (Austria, Misano, Mandalika, Portimão, and Valencia), his year's rewards are outstanding.
Conversely, Jorge Martín had a challenging season due to a string of ailments sustained during training, the Sepang testing, the long race in Qatar, and the Motegi sprint race. After more than a month and a half of absence, he returned for the final race in Valencia with the intention of reacquainting himself with the RS-GP25 over the weekend. Positively, the Valencia examinations concluded with a sense of accomplishment and a resolve to start a new chapter.
Bravo to Lorenzo Savadori, a crucial member of the team and test rider who, while filling in for Martín, turned every weekend into an opportunity to refine and enhance the RS-GP25. Although it is not well known, this work was crucial in solidifying Aprilia Racing's position as one of the main players in MotoGP.
Raúl Fernández and Ai Ogura from the Trackhouse MotoGP Team made significant contributions. The Japanese rider finished a course of steady development in his MotoGP rookie year, showing noticeable advancement all season long.
Raúl Fernández, on the other hand, had his most important year in MotoGP since his dé. He achieved his first-ever MotoGP podium after placing third in the Mandalika sprint race. Following this outcome, Aprilia Racing finished second in the Phillip Island sprint race and won its 300th race in the history of the FIM Grand Prix World Championship the very following day. Then, in Valencia, he finished second behind Bezzecchi with a historic one-two. After the one in Barcelona in 2023, this was the Noale-based manufacturer's second MotoGP one-two.
These outcomes show how strong Aprilia Racing's technical design is and how hard everyone has worked in Noale. An very significant milestone for the MotoGP project was reached at the end of the 2025 season with a coveted second place in the Manufacturers Championship at 418 points. Additionally, the season will be remembered for a moment that immediately entered the Noale manufacturer's history. Raúl Fernández of Trackhouse MotoGP won the 300th FIM Grand Prix World Championship for Aprilia Racing at the Australian Grand Prix on the famous Phillip Island Circuit. This record, which is currently at 302, has even greater significance since it established Aprilia Racing as the most successful European manufacturer in the history of the FIM Grand Prix World Championship.
