Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) shone during the IRTA tests on June 9, 2025, at MotorLand Aragon, setting the fastest time of 1:45.694, a new track record. More than just his time, the Rimini rider used the day to advance the development of the RS-GP25, testing aerodynamic and electronic upgrades, and a new chassis. In his comments, he expressed satisfaction with the progress, highlighting a promising direction for Aprilia.
Marco Bezzecchi not only shone with his speed during the MotoGP tests in Aragon — he especially confirmed his growing role in the development of the RS-GP25 project. On Monday, in stifling heat, the Rimini rider multiplied the runs and experiments on the Noale bike, sending a clear message: Aprilia work, progress and aim higher.
« We tested several new elements to improve the bike in different areas, especially the chrono ", has explained Bezzecchi at the end of the day. And the results followed: his time in the timed attack proved very competitive, proof that the technical work is paying off. The time achieved at the end of the session is a step forward, a sign that we are going in the right direction » points out the Italian.
Marco Bezzecchi: “ the new aerodynamic package worked well »
The heart of the program? A aerodynamic evolution visible, a new exhaust signed SC-Project, and a revised chassis, inherited from the work carried out by the team TrackHouse. A composite package, combining visible innovations and subtle internal optimizations. The aim was also to collect useful data and information by testing not only invisible solutions, but also visible solutions, like a new aerodynamic package that worked well ", precise BezzecchiIn other words: the team is not just looking to make the times shine, but to build a solid foundation for the rest of the season.
What is striking is the methodical approach ofApriliaUnlike other manufacturers who were still hesitant, Noale dared to experiment. New chassis, refined aerodynamics, redesigned electronic components... everything was included, in a deliberate desire to make the RS-GP25 a real Swiss Army knife, fast and versatile.
Bezzecchi, who joined Aprilia in search of new perspectives, seems perfectly integrated into this dynamic. His ability to produce clear feedback, his commitment to development, and his results on the track confirm it: the Italian is much more than just a driver, he has become a technical pillar of the project.
With a solid database, an evolving package and an increasingly comfortable driver, Aprilia leaves fromAragon with a sense of momentum. And if the RS-GP25 is not yet at the level of Ducati in terms of dominance, she is gaining maturity — and Bezzecchi, in credibility. Next step: Mugello, where the work accomplished could well turn into a trigger.
