MOTOGP 2025 – PREVIEW GP 16 ITALY

HOME GRAND PRIX FOR APRILIA RACING IN MISANO: MARCO BEZZECCHI AND JORGE MARTÍN RENEW THE CHALLENGE AT THE GP OF SAN MARINO AND THE RIVIERA OF RIMINI

Noale (Italy), 9 September 2025 - Hometown air for Aprilia Racing as then head to the track this weekend at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for the sixteenth round of the season before the GP races outside of Europe begin. After the GP of Catalunya last weekend, Bezzecchi and Martín are arriving with the goal of being protagonists in front of the Italian fans.

Marco Bezzecchi, intent on turning the page after a complicated weekend in Montmeló, will be on his true home track – in fact, he lives just 25 km from Misano World Circuit – and he is determined to give his fans a great result.

Jorge Martín is highly motivated to continue building his feeling with the RS-GP25 after the increasingly more encouraging signs in recent races. His last few weekends from his return confirm constant growth with the RS-GP.

The Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, 4.23 km long, is a technical track that puts riders to the test with 16 turns, 10 of which are righthanders and 6 lefthanders. The complexity of the track derives from the numerous direction changes between turns and chicanes which give the riders the chance to set different lines, resulting in numerous opportunities to overtake. Among the most iconic corners stands Turn 11, known as the “Curvone,” a very fast section that riders take at around 240 km/h.

MARCO BEZZECCHI, #72: “I’m happy to be going to Misano. It will be great to be close to all of our fans again.

We’ll need their warmth, especially after the difficulties last weekend in Montmeló, but we are focused, and we’ll be giving it our all in front of our fans.
JORGE MARTÍN, #1: “I can’t wait to get to Misano, where I have the great memory of the test that marked my return to the team after the injury.

It’s Aprilia home race and we’re all extremely enthusiastic about heading there. We’re doing an outstanding job, and I hope to reduce the gap behind the riders ahead of me.
