It's a new face that appears in the MotoGP paddock. It is found at Aprilia who decided to finally pull out all the stops to bring his MotoGP project to fruition. There will be a technical direction led by the kingpin Roman Albesian and a man who will take care of sports management. He's the new one, his name is Massimo rivola, and it comes to us from Ferrari. Not less ! He started to speak. No doubt, he has potential. We expected nothing less from a man who comes from Formula 1.
His first words hit the mark. Rivola knows where to press to attract attention and position his troops. The former Scuderia declared on Tutomotoriweb : " we have to focus on 2019, then 2020 and finally, if Valentino wanted to come in 2021, it would be a very beautiful story. I think every well-motivated driver is able to hide their age. Vale is a living example that a motivated and intelligent driver can make a difference, even at 40 "
The idea is therefore to suggest that nothing would be more beautiful than to end a career where it began. A full circle. The love story between Noale's house and the Doctor began in 1996. The then very young Valentino Rossi is hired by Aprilia to race in 125. The results will be marked by two world titles. One in 125 and another in 250.
In 2000, Valentino Rossi arrives in 500 with Honda. For its part, Aprilia attempted adventure in the category until 2004 before making its return in 2015.
