Portimão (Portugal), 4 November 2025 - The 2025 MotoGP season is entering its final stages. After the extra-European tour, Aprilia Racing is returning to Europe to tackle the penultimate round on the calendar at Autódromo Internacional do Algarve with Marco Bezzecchi and Lorenzo Savadori.
Bezzecchi will be arriving in Portugal determined to turn the page after a Malaysian GP where he was unable to fully express his potential with the RS-GP25. The Italian rider will be aiming to be back among the protagonists and to consolidate his third place in the overall rider standings.
Completing the line-up will be Lorenzo Savadori, who is subbing for Jorge Martín after it was confirmed that he will not be participating in the GP of Portugal. The Spanish rider underwent a medical check on last Wednesday with Professor Xavier Mir, after the surgery that fixed his right clavicular fracture following the accident suffered in Japan. The post-operative evolution is progressing as expected, with full recovery of mobility in his right arm, although the fracture has not yet healed completely. A further medical check is due in the next few days.

The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, nestled in the beautiful setting of Algarve in Portugal, was added to the Motorcycle World Grand Prix Championship calendar in 2020. With its 4.59 km, a main straight almost 1000 metres long before an impressive descent towards the iconic turn 1, and its 15 corners (6 lefthanders and 9 righthanders), the circuit is known as the “rollercoaster” because of its constant ups and downs, which always make for spectacular races.

MARCO BEZZECCHI, #72: “I am quite happy to be returning to Portimão. Last year, we raced here at the beginning of the season, so a lot of time has passed since we were here last. I like this track a lot and I am looking forward to tackling it again. These will be two important races. We’ll try to do a good job with the entire team and with Aprilia, have fun, and close out this season in the best possible way.”
LORENZO SAVADORI, #32: “Portimão is a fantastic and extremely particular track. A lot of time has passed since the last time I rode here, and I can’t wait to get back onto the track. We’ll continue the work we began in Australia, and in Portugal we’ll keep developing the bike. We are coming from two positive days of private testing in Jerez, where we further advanced the development programme.”
