A decade after exit, Aprilia will return to MotoGP for the 2015 season, a year earlier than previously announced by Piaggio’s CEO Roberto Colaninno at the 2013 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan.
Roberto Colaninno has recently explained that “We decided to make our debut a year earlier than planned because Aprilia Racing’s technical and competitive skills are absolutely top notch. Our growth in World Superbikes has been exemplary in this direction, from our rookie year in 2009 to the five world titles we’ve won so far with the RSV4.”
Aprilia aims to compete in MotoGP with a full factory prototype for a four-year plan managed by Gresini Racing, as it said in a statement, “This is a four year agreement, so Gresini Racing will be managing the Aprilia bikes on the track in MotoGP until the 2018 season.”
