Aprilia Racing and Monster Energy announce major multi-year partnership

It is finally official: Aprilia Racing and Monster Energy are joining forces. Starting with the 2026 Grand Prix of Italy, the iconic three-claw logo will adorn the factory RS-GP bikes and rider leathers, marking a significant strategic escalation for the Noale factory. The agreement is set to deepen further in 2027, when Monster Energy steps up as the team’s official title sponsor.

This partnership lands exactly when Aprilia is at the height of its powers. After a 2025 campaign that saw them become the European manufacturer with the most wins in FIM Grand Prix World Championship history, they have maintained that stunning momentum. In 2026, the team has already secured the first three Grand Prix wins of the year, reached the podium in the first five rounds, and celebrated a historic 1-2-3 finish at the French GP.

As Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing, noted, "This agreement represents a milestone for Aprilia Racing and the crowning moment of our path of success." With Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martín currently leading the rider standings, the team is proving it is a force to be reckoned with. It is clear that both parties see this as a perfect alignment of ambition and performance as they look to define the next chapter of MotoGP.
