Lorenzo Savadori has renewed his commitment to Aprilia Racing, continuing in his role as official test rider for the 2025 and 2026 MotoGP seasons. The Italian rider, an integral part of the Aprilia Racing project in MotoGP, will continue the development work of the RS-GP, which will include the entire testing programme, official and private, as well as a series of participations as a wild card in MotoGP, as required by the regulations.
A relationship, that between Aprilia Racing and Lorenzo Savadori, which began in 2015 with the title in the FIM Superstock 1000 championship riding the Aprilia RSV4 RF and then continued in World Superbike. In 2020, Savadori took on the role of Aprilia Racing test rider in MotoGP, becoming a key figure in the project and contributing to the growth of the RS-GP.
Savadori, in addition to his work on the RS-GP for MotoGP, will also continue the development of all the "track-ready" products of the Noale manufacturer, to make not only the performance but also the technology of racing motorcycles available to all fans.
"I am extremely happy to continue this adventure and to pursue my work along with Aprilia Racing for the next two seasons," said Savadori. "In recent years we have done an outstanding job and I am certain that we will continue to improve more and more. Our growth has been consistent, step-by-step, with a rather clear goal that we always have at the forefront of our minds: contributing to taking the RS-GP to the top of MotoGP. I can't wait to start the season!"
Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing, added: "We are proud to confirm that Aprilia Racing will continue working with Lorenzo Savadori, one of the pillars of our project which, along with the test team, has allowed for the extraordinary development of recent years. 'Sava' also represents continuity for us - a fundamental aspect of working with a highly trusted test rider, especially in such an important year where two new riders will be joining the factory team. He will also be a valuable resource during some Grands Prix, where we will continue to see him as a wild card with always experimental solutions."
