Aprilia CEO Massimo Ri✨vola has warned of “tough moments” ahead in MotoGP 2025, but has urged communication between its riders, even if that is to say “f*** off”.

The Italian outfit has completel🐎y refreshed its factory line-up for the coming season, with reigning world champion Jorge Martin joining its ranks alongside Marco Bezze✤cchi.

🔯While Aprilia won a grand prix in 2024, it struggled with its RS-GP as꧟ the season went on and slid to third in the standings behind KTM and champion marque Ducati.

Martin has already moved to quell expectations of retaining his crown in 2025 in his first se🏅ason with Aprilia.

In a new behind-the-scenes video on MotoGP’s official website doꦍcumenting Martin and Bezzec🍸chi’s first test with Aprilia last November, Rivola also warned of “tough moments” ahead.

“There will be some t💝ough moments, and some even tougher one,” he began in a speech to the entire Aprilia team, directed towards Martin and Bezzecchi.

“The recipe for overcoming these ꦓmoments is actually quite simple: talk about everything.

“How are thin🎃gs going? Sometimes, you’ll need to say things differently to each other.

“And ꦍonce in a while you ca♛n even tell each other to ‘fuck off’.

“That’s fine. It’ll be easier for ♍you wiꦐth all that adrenaline pumping.

“Our approach will be to deliver the best possible conditions to the both ofও you, to the best of our abilities, without playing any games or tricks.

“You should know that you are 𒐪the figures driving hundreds of families who work for you. You have this responsibility as well.”

As well as new rid🐽ers, Aprilia begins 2025 with a new technical director ♔in Fabiano Sterlacchini, previously of KTM and Ducati.

He replaces Romano Albesiano, who has taken on the technical director role 🗹at Honda, following Aleix Espargaro from Aprilia to the Japanese marque after he signed on as its test rider.
