The MotoGP paddock is buzzing following a stellar weekend for the Noale factory at Motegi, where Jorge Martin secured second place and Marco Bezzecchi claimed third. This double podium surpassed all pre-race expectations given their historical struggles in Japan, firmly cementing their status as genuine title contenders.
Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola could not hide his pride over the rapid development of the RS-GP under technical chief Fabiano Sterlacchini. Although the ultimate victory went to the sheer brilliance of Marc Marquez on his Ducati, Rivola made it clear that his squad is fully prepared for the challenges ahead.
"We know who he is, but we will definitely make it difficult for him too," Rivola stated during his post-race debrief, highlighting the tense championship standings where Martin holds a razor-thin two-point advantage at the top.
Looking ahead to the upcoming round at Mandalika, Rivola chose to keep his feet firmly on the ground and temper excessive expectations. Bitter experiences at past venues have taught the Italian squad the vital importance of focusing day by day rather than getting ahead of themselves.
Bezzecchi's remarkable mental resilience following a tough recovery from injuries added another layer of optimism to the garage. With the championship narrative narrowing down into a fierce duel between Aprilia and the legendary Spaniard, the title race promises maximum drama until the very end.
