Aprilia have dropp﷽ed a big hint that they will keep their current riders 𝔉for 2025 - but they will “listen” to alternatives.

The I♔talian manufacturer reportedly failed in their pursuit of Fabio Quartararo, who instead signed a new contract with Yamaha.

Who would have lost their spot if Quartarar🏅o came onboard i꧂s unclear.

But, days later, Maverick V🐽inales delivered a sensational reminder of his talent by winning the Americas MotoGP.

All four Aprilia riders are out of contract atܫ t༒he end of this season.

CEO Massimo Rivola told TNT Sports about the riderꦚ market: “It’s a nice dilemma.

“🍌Priority No1 is always to make the best possible bike so that our riders, and all other riders,♓ we are appealing to them.

⭕“We have Aleix Espargaro - we call him the captain.

“I can see a bright future for Maverick to become the future captain of our t🦩eam.

“Let’s see when Aleix would like to stop, or wh✃at he would like to do with us.

“For us, it’s full respect to our riders first.

“Then, check our riders in Trackhouse. They are growing well. They need more time to get the feeling of an Aprilia which isn’t an easy 🌃bike.

“First priority is with the Aprilia riders. Then𒁃 we will check the market.

“Ready𓂃 to listen to everybody. But we are not re✃ally looking to someone.”

Vinales, after his stunning early-season form which includes two sprint wins and a history-makꦦing grand prix triumph, is likely to emerge asꦫ Aprilia's priority to tie down to an extended stay.

Espargaro, the ไoldest rider on the grid, has considered retiring at the end of this year. The ಞveteran rider has suggested he will come to a final decision over the next few rounds.

Trackhouse duo Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez have 🅘not yet got to grips with their machines, and rumours have circulated that the rebranded US-backed team might want an American rider.

Enea Bastianini and J�🐭�orge Martin have been linked to the factory Aprilia team.

Whoever is overlooked ♋for the 2025 factory Ducati spot, between Bastianini and Martin, could seek a factory ride elsewhere rather than accept a Ducati🦄 satellite team.
