The release of a new MotoGP model is always a significant event, as these machines represent the pinnacle of two-wheeled technology. The winter months are a hive of activity for race teams as they prepare for the upcoming season, refining and upgrading their bikes based on data gathered from the previous year.
Aprilia recently unveiled its latest race bike, the RS-GP24, marking a milestone in the company’s pursuit of excellence in MotoGP. Under the leadership of Romano Albesiano, the Aprilia Racing Division meticulously revised the RS-GP, aiming to enhance an already formidable platform.
Albesiano emphasized the team’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technological innovation, particularly focusing on advanced aerodynamics.
The RS-GP24’s bodywork reflects this emphasis, with prominent winglets, a fully enclosed fairing, and a redesigned exhaust system and tail.
Aleix Espargaro, a stalwart of the Aprilia team, expressed his enthusiasm for the new bike, highlighting his confidence in the team’s capabilities.
Maverick Viñales, who underwent rigorous training during the offseason, echoed Espargaro’s optimism, emphasizing the competitive landscape of MotoGP and the need for continuous improvement.
Joining Aprilia for the 2024 season are Miguel Oliveira and Raúl Fernández from the Trackhouse racing team. Both will be riding versions of the RS-GP, with Oliveira on the latest RS-GP24 model and Fernández on a 2023-spec bike upgraded to meet performance standards.
