Aprilia Racing has officially launched its 2026 MotoGP team, signalling its continued determination to fight at the very front of the premier class. With a refined team structure, relentless technical development, and a proven race-winning machine, Aprilia enters the new season with one clear objective: consistent victories and a sustained title challenge.
At the core of Aprilia Racing’s 2026 campaign is the latest evolution of the Aprilia RS-GP, a bike that has transformed Aprilia into one of MotoGP’s most competitive manufacturers in recent seasons. Known for its exceptional corner speed, strong braking stability, and continuous aerodynamic innovation, the RS-GP has proven it can win races and regularly challenge the established giants of the championship.
The team’s confidence is firmly rooted in its strong performances last season, where Aprilia Racing and its riders delivered multiple podium finishes and race wins, reinforcing the brand’s presence at the sharp end of the grid. These results were not isolated moments, but the outcome of a long-term development strategy that has steadily elevated Aprilia from underdog status to a genuine MotoGP powerhouse.
For 2026, Aprilia Racing continues to focus on refinement rather than reinvention. Improvements in electronics, chassis balance, and aerodynamics are aimed at enhancing consistency across different circuits and conditions—an area that has become increasingly crucial in today’s ultra-competitive MotoGP field. The factory team also benefits from close technical collaboration with its satellite partners, ensuring valuable data flow and accelerated development throughout the season.
Beyond pure performance, Aprilia Racing remains one of the most innovative and progressive teams in the paddock. Its bold racing philosophy, combined with Italian engineering excellence and a clear racing identity, has earned widespread respect from rivals and fans alike. The 2026 livery reflects this DNA—clean, aggressive, and unmistakably Aprilia.
As MotoGP continues to evolve, Aprilia Racing stands as a benchmark for how commitment, engineering vision, and patience can deliver success at the highest level. With a race-proven RS-GP, a motivated factory team, and momentum from last season’s victories and podiums, Aprilia Racing enters 2026 as a serious contender on every circuit.
The message from Noale is clear: Aprilia Racing is not chasing results—it expects them.
The traditional lion (Leone Arato) graphic makes a major return. The RS-GP26 wears the “Winged Lion” symbol of Venice, a design that embodies the regional roots of the base Noale and the team’s indomitable spirit, which is part of Aprilia’s identity and symbolizes a team that never gives up.
