History

Grand Prix World Championship

Aprilia rejoined the MotoGP class in, taking advantage of the newly introduced Claiming Rule Team category that encouraged independent teams with lower budgets to use bikes from manufacturers not officially involved in MotoGP. Aprilia supplied RSV4 SBK-derived bikes under the ART (Aprilia Racing Technology) name to Aspar Team, Paul Bird Motorsport and Speed Master teams. In both the and seasons Aprilia's ART machinery stood out as the best CRT bikes.

In, Aprilia partnered with Gresini Racing as a factory-supported independent team. The team competed as the Aprilia Racing Team Gresini with an all-new 1000cc V4-engined RS-GP.

In, Aprilia entered the series as an official factory team for the first time since 2004.^[1] Their previously supported Gresini Racing team returned to a fully-independent team using Ducati bikes. Aprilia's factory team is named Aprilia Racing.

In, Jorge Martín signed for the factory team from Pramac Racing replacing the retiring Aleix Espargaró.
