Aprilia extends Lorenzo Savadori's contract until 2028

Aprilia has renewed the contract of MotoGP test rider Lorenzo Savadori, keeping him with the Noale factory for the first two years of the new 850cc regulations, until the end of 2028.

Savadori has been linked with Aprilia for more than a decade, having raced the RSV4 in European Superstock and competed for the brand in WorldSBK in 2017 and 2018. He joined Aprilia's MotoGP project in 2019 and rode full-time from late 2020 to mid-2021, before returning to the role of test rider, where he has helped develop the RS-GP.

Savadori said he was glad to continue with Aprilia Racing. Team CEO Massimo Rivola described him as one of the rare riders who puts the company's well-being ahead of personal ambition, adding that Savadori's commitment is one of the reasons Aprilia Racing has become a benchmark in the top class.
