In 2021, Dovizioso will continue to test for Aprilia

ANDREA DOVIZIOSO AND APRILIA RACING CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER.

ANDREA WILL BE ON THE RS-GP FOR A SERIES OF TESTS THROUGHOUT THE 2021 SEASON AFTER THE DATES IN JEREZ AND MUGELLO.

Andrea Dovizioso and Aprilia RS-GP will continue dating after the first date in Jerez, which was spent getting to know each other, and the second date in Mugello, which was hindered by weather conditions.

This means that the Italian champion’s relationship with Aprilia Racing is now more formalized, with a series of tests planned for the 2021 season.

The following race will be held on the 23rd and 24th of June at Misano, where Dovizioso will be joined on the track by the Aprilia Racing test team, which hosted him for his first two appearances.

In the early rounds of the current championship, the 2021 Aprilia RS-GP, ridden by Aleix Espargaró and Lorenzo Savadori, has cut a fine figure, proving to be significantly more competitive than prior seasons. Work on developing the project, which was put on hold soon after it began in 2020 owing to the constraints imposed by the Covid situation, resumed this year and will be able to go further thanks to Andrea Dovizioso’s contributions.

“Since I wasn’t able to test at Mugello in dry conditions, I’m pleased that Aprilia Racing asked me to continue the work we started in Jerez and to be able to provide my contribution to developing the bike. I think this will be beneficial for both of us – for me, to continue training on a MotoGP bike in anticipation of a possible return in 2022, and for Aprilia to receive what they feel to be interesting information. For this reason, we decided to do more tests.”

ROMANO ALBESIANO – APRILIA RACING TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

“Our RS-GP project underwent a huge revolution last year and now we can finally push on development. The first part of the 2021 season has been very positive and rather evident improvements have been seen. Now, being able to set up a work schedule with Andrea is a great opportunity to accelerate and consolidate this growth. In the first two outings, we already touched on a lot of issues that we will now be able to look at more in depth together, trying to get the best performance out of our very young project.”
