Hello lads, I am very proud to announce that this weekend, during the Italian Grand Prix, I will join the MotoGP Hall of Fame and become a MotoGP Legend. Guys, I am very happy to receive this honor, which I want to share with you, who have always supported me in all these years.

Furthermore, on Sunday, before the MotoGP race, I will have the opportunity to take a last lap of the track on the hills of the Mugello circuit, with my Aprilia RSW 250. Mugello, it gives me chills. I hug each of you guys. STAY TUNED, MAX.

Completing the trident will be Lorenzo Savadori who, thanks to his third wild-card appearance of the season, will be taking the third RS-GP onto the track. It will be yet another extremely important moment in the growth of Aprilia’s MotoGP project, thanks to the testing in the race of new development solutions. Thanks in part to this work, all three riders will benefit from a range of technical upgrades, a tangible sign of the great effort the Veneto-based racing department continues to bring to the table.
ALEIX ESPARGARÓ (bike no. 41): “In the next two weeks, I’ll have... the two home races! In fact, Mugello and Barcelona represent my two families and that is why these rounds have a particular flavour to them.
We have demonstrated that we are fast and that is no exaggeration, but consistency is also what will make the difference this year. There are a lot of strong riders, bikes that are hard to stay ahead of, and every result is the fruit of practically perfect labour. We need to keep it up.”
MAVERICK VIÑALES (bike no. 12): “With hard work, we are constantly finding the answers we are seeking, even if it isn’t easy. We are all battling at an extraordinary level where the devil is in the details and adapting to a new bike and a new team is no simple thing.
But I have faith. The potential of the RS-GP is clear and in some situations I am able to exploit it, whereas we still need to work out a few phases of the weekend to take a definitive step forward.”

LORENZO SAVADORI (bike no. 32): “Racing in Mugello, a magnificent track, with the support of the fans, will be a great thrill. We’ll continue our work on an experimental bike with the goal of helping Aleix and Maverick in this extremely demanding championship. My wild cards are complementary to the tests. Non-stop development is necessary because we are fast, but the competition won’t let us relax!”
