Aprilia MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi on new partnership with Pecco Bagnaia and collarbone injury

Aprilia announced a four‑year contract to bring double world champion Pecco Bagnaia to the team for 2027, a move that ends his long tenure with Ducati. Teammate Marco Bezzecchi said sharing a garage with Bagnaia will feel "strange" after years as rivals, but expressed optimism about the team's mood and his own prospects.

Bezzecchi suffered a displaced fracture of his left collarbone during qualifying at the Sachsenring, underwent surgery in Italy and was expected to miss the next races. Aprilia expects him to return after the summer break, targeting a start at the Silverstone Grand Prix.
