Aprilia Racing has officially announced a contract extension with veteran test rider Lorenzo Savadori as the factory prepares to transition into the upcoming 850cc technical era. The new agreement secures the Italian rider's services with the Noale-based manufacturer through the end of 2028, ensuring his invaluable development expertise remains at the core of their MotoGP project.
Savadori's ties with Aprilia span well over a decade, tracing back to his days racing the RSV4 in the European Superstock championship and later competing in WorldSBK during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Since joining the premier class development program in 2019, he has served as both a test rider and a stand-in race competitor before the arrival of Maverick Vinales.
His meticulous testing work has played an instrumental role in transforming the RS-GP into one of the benchmark machines of the 1,000cc era. By committing to this multi-year extension, Savadori is already deeply involved in shaping the foundational framework for the brand-new technical regulations set to redefine the grid in the coming seasons.
Reflecting on his continued tenure, Savadori expressed profound pride in his long-standing relationship with the Italian factory. I am really glad to continue my journey with Aprilia Racing, to which I am deeply attached, stated Savadori. We are all working hard to always see Aprilia at the front, and I am proud and honoured to be part of this fantastic group of people, who put not only a huge amount of effort, but also a lot of heart into everything they do.
Adding to these sentiments, Massimo Rivola praised the unparalleled dedication and team-first mentality brought by the veteran test rider. Riders who unconditionally embrace a cause and put the company’s well-being ahead of their own personal ambition are rare exceptions, Rivola noted. Lorenzo is undoubtedly one of them, and Aprilia Racing wouldn't be complete without Giga Sava.
