Aprilia Racing is the first factory outfit to host its bike launch for the 2026 MotoGP season.

Aprilia followed Pramac Racing and the VR46 team in unveiling its bike for the upcoming season.

After some strong results toward the end of the season, particularly with Marco Bezzecchi, the Aprilia Racing team revealed its next bike in Milan.

The Italian manufacturer finished second in the Constructors' standings the previous season, and Bezzecchi finished third in the Drivers' standings behind the Marquez brothers.

The Italian rider won three Grands Prix in 2025 as well, including the final two rounds of the season. These promising results have created some high expectations for 2026 too.

On the other side of the garage, Jorge Martin endured a difficult season. After switching teams as a defending champion, the Spaniard's year was marked by injuries.

Martin will continue with Aprilia for 2026 after nearly leaving the team midway through the campaign, which included a two-month contract dispute.
