At the end of the Barcelona test in view of 2025 Jorge Martin did not speak to the press, but in compensation his new boss Massimo Rivola did, saying that he was definitely satisfied with the first kilometers put in by the world champion on the Aprilia.
"The feeling was super positive and he gave more positive feedback than we expected. Obviously there are things that are better, things that can be improved, but in general it's a bike he likes a lot, bu on the screen we saw him fighting with the bike sometimes. However, we have an idea of what he wants," the executive told the Crashnet website relieved.
Also comforting the House of Noale is the uniformity of comments with those Bezzecchi : "He and Marco reported similar analysis, so the direction is clear. The test started on the 2024 bike and then they went to the new one and it seems that the RS-GP25 is better, so it is not excluded that we can make a further step forward. So I must say that I am positive and happy with the outcome of the day."
The changes did not only concern the lineup, but also the technical staff. "It was a unique moment, because Fabiano Sterlacchini in the role of technical director, the chief technician and a couple of mechanics also made their debut. Big changes for a big challenge," he then stressed while launching the motto for the new championship.
"I was then impressed by the bond between the people. I saw a united team and that pleased me," he concluded enthusiastically.
