The new Italian street bike with track ambitions has been given the green light as an option for the riders in the factory derivative category of the series.

But is it really the famous British actor, Hollywood star (Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Pirates of the Caribbean...) astride the new Aprilia? With his hat and mask, he is hard to recognize, as followers commented, sowing doubt. Doubts that were immediately dispelled with a quick check on Bloom’s Instagram profile, where he posted another image of himself astride the aggressive Aprilia, with Apex Black livery, outside his garage at his home (in Los Angeles, California).
