Aprilia has unveiled its new RS-GP 2024 model with significant advancements in aerodynamics and overall performance. Every aspect of the bike, from the V4 engine to the chassis, has been carefully redesigned and improved upon, while maintaining a strong connection to the successful 2023 base model.
The team will feature experienced riders Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales, along with Miguel Oliveira joining for the new season on an RS-GP24. Additionally, Raúl Fernández will start with a 2023-spec bike before upgrading to the latest version.
Aleix Espargaró expressed his pride in the project’s growth over recent seasons and his confidence in the team’s capabilities for the upcoming season. He emphasized the need for consistency to compete effectively throughout the season.
Maverick Viñales echoed Espargaró’s sentiments, highlighting the high level of competition in MotoGP and the team’s commitment to maximizing their technical package at every opportunity.
Team manager Romano Albesiano emphasized the team’s continuous growth, particularly with the addition of Miguel Oliveira starting on a factory-spec RS-GP. He expressed confidence in the team’s ability to be competitive in MotoGP.
The approach to the 2024 season builds upon the strong foundation established in previous years. The RS-GP represents Aprilia’s philosophy of continuous improvement, with innovative aerodynamic concepts and a thorough revision of every detail.
Having three bikes with the same specifications on the track from the start of the season will provide valuable data for further development. The team is poised to analyze and interpret this information to continue their upward trajectory in MotoGP.
