Marco Bezzecchi still does not have enough: "Atomic Aprilia"

Marco Bezzecchi still can’t get enough. After dominating the season finale in MotoGP, so much so that he ended 2025 in third place in the riders’ world championship, the Romagna native finished the post-Grand Prix tests in Valencia Tuesday second behind only Raul Fernandez. Two Aprilias ahead of everyone, then: an element that sparked the ’Bez” enthusiasm. As well as great confidence ahead of next season.

“Aprilia&#8217s work was atomic – Bezzecchi let slip at the end of the day -. They brought a lot of interesting new things, we tried different things and some you couldn&#8217t even see. Here in Valencia we don&#8217t work so much on aerodynamics, so my feelings are a bit of a mix. But being able to try everything is very important”.

“We also had little time, because in the morning the track was wet and then came the cold weather– noted Bezzecchi -. So we were forced to stop early, in fact we could only take advantage of three hours. This is also why the feelings are mixed, because some things are more positive and on others we have more doubts. But this is normal, now we have to analyze this data and then we will try everything again in Sepang“.

So, while keeping rather sibylline, Bezzecchi went into more detail about the situation at Aprilia. “In my opinion, we have not even reached the halfway point of the program we had set. I’m not worried, but I remain curious. I would have liked to know what I would have felt by trying some things on the track. However, this is also good, since we still have some cartridges left to shoot” revealed the Rimini native.
