MotoGP | Davide Brivio: “Aprilia can challenge Ducati”

MotoGP Aprilia Trackhouse Racing – Davide Brivio returned to the MotoGP paddock this year, he was in fact hired by the newly formed Team Trackhouse Aprilia as Team Principal.

A historic figure in the MotoGP world championship with five MotoGP Riders' World Championships and four Manufacturers' titles, Brivio has a lot of experience and after the Qatar tests he analyzed the situation of the Noale manufacturer, which this year will field four bikes, two in the internal team, with Aleix Espargarò and Maverick Vinales and two with Team Trackhouse, Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez. There will be three 2024 RS-GPs on track, with only Fernandez who will drive the RS-GP 23 at least at the start of the season.

According to Brivio, Aprilia must retrace the path taken by Ducati, which has become the point of reference for MotoGP. Again according to Brivio, the Venetian company is already on the right track, given that some competitors have copied solutions adopted by the Noale company.

Davide Brivio Statements Aprilia Vs Ducati MotoGP 2024

“I'm happy to be a partner of Aprilia – Brivio told Crash.net – Obviously Ducati is very strong in MotoGP now. They dominated last year's championship and are the bike everyone wants to beat, but I think Aprilia is in a great position to be a challenger to Ducati, along with KTM. So it's very exciting, trying to challenge the strongest, who are dominating. That's why it's great to be with Aprilia right now. With the 2024 bike there was a lot of work on the aerodynamics. In reality, from what I could see, Aprilia was copied by others. So that's great! It's already a good result. I think that with Aprilia we are able to be a serious challenger. Of course, it took Ducati many years to get to this position. And so we hope that Aprilia is following the same path, without underestimating the KTMs."
