Marco Bezzecchi, currently a MotoGP rider for the Ducati VR46 racing team, will ride for Aprilia in 2025.
The Italian finished third in the World Championship last year and had turned down a handlebar at Ducati-Pramac for 2024 in order to stay with VR46.
The 25-year-old will form a team with current world championship leader Jorge Martin (Ducati-Pramac) in 2025. The Spaniard had also announced that he would switch to Aprilia. The duo will replace future retiree Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales, who is moving to Red Bull KTM Tech3.
