Aprilia have just revealed their new MotoGP bike, and they’re hoping it’s the one that finally ends Ducati’s reign. Marco Bezzecchi could be the main threat to reigning world champion Marc Marquez.
Aprilia pulled the covers off their 2026 MotoGP bike at an event in Milan on Thursday. They have made clear that they are targeting the world championship with the RS-GP26.
Ducati’s dominance is under pressure heading into the new season, and Max Biaggi thinks Aprilia might be the ones to take advantage. Last season was largely shaped by Marc Marquez’s return to form, as he took control of the grid on his way to a seventh world title.
Marco Bezzecchi has caught the attention of Jorge Lorenzo, with the MotoGP legend praising the Italian’s rise at Aprilia. Bezzecchi is almost certain to finish third in this year’s world championship.
The 2025 season has brought its share of unexpected performances, and Dani Pedrosa believes one rider in particular stands out above the rest. One name that fits this narrative is Alex Marquez, who enters the current term coming off a career best second place finish in the standings last year.
