Lorenzo Savadori will remain a cornerstone of Aprilia Racing’s MotoGP development team after the Italian manufacturer confirmed the extension of their partnership until 2028.

More than just a test rider, Savadori has become one of the key figures representing Aprilia Racing’s values and team spirit. Known for his speed, technical sensitivity and consistency, he plays an important role in developing the manufacturer’s MotoGP machinery through extensive testing sessions. 

Aprilia Racing also highlighted Savadori’s determination and positive attitude, describing him as a rider who consistently puts the team’s interests first. His willingness to work closely with factory riders and other team members has earned him the affectionate nickname ‘Giga Sava’. 

According to Aprilia Racing, the nickname reflects his ability to contribute across different areas, both on and off the track, making him an important figure within the organisation. 

Savadori Proud to Continue with Aprilia Racing

Savadori expressed his happiness at continuing his journey with Aprilia Racing stating: “I am really glad to continue my journey with Aprilia Racing, to which I am deeply attached. I am happy with what we have achieved so far and how much we have grown.”

He added that the entire team remains committed to keeping Aprilia competitive at the front of the MotoGP grid, “We are all working hard to always see Aprilia at the front, and I am proud and honoured to be part of this fantastic group of people, who put not only a huge amount of effort, but also a lot of heart into everything they do.”

Massimo Rivola Praises Savadori’s Commitment

Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola also praised Savadori’s dedication, highlighting his commitment to the manufacturer’s long-term objectives rather than individual ambitions.

According to Rivola, riders who fully embrace a team’s vision and prioritise the company’s progress are increasingly rare in professional motorsport.

“Riders who unconditionally embrace a cause and put the company’s well-being ahead of their own personal ambition are rare exceptions. Lorenzo is undoubtedly one of them,” said Rivola.

He also credited Savadori’s attitude and commitment as part of the unified team spirit that has helped Aprilia Racing establish itself as a competitive force in the premier class. “Aprilia Racing wouldn’t be complete without Giga Sava,” Rivola concluded.

Savadori’s continued involvement provides Aprilia Racing with an experienced development rider who understands the team’s machinery, working methods and long-term objectives. His contribution remains important as the Italian manufacturer continues working towards greater competitiveness in MotoGP.
