Aprilia Racing heads to Sepang for the final GP of the extra-European tour

Bezzecchi will be highly motivated as he arrives in Sepang and his goal will be to finish out the extra-European tour with another significant result. The Italian rider is fresh from an extraordinary weekend on Phillip Island, where he took victory in the sprint race and third place in the long race. These are results which catapulted him into third place in the overall rider standings with 282 points.

Completing the line-up will be Lorenzo Savadori, subbing for Jorge Martín who will miss the Sepang race as well as he recovers from the right collarbone injury he suffered in Motegi. The Italian rider will take advantage of the weekend to continue his work developing the RS-GP25 in a race setting.

The Petronas Sepang International Circuit, located about 50 km from Kuala Lumpur, is one of the historic FIM World Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing rounds, on the calendar since 1999. At 5,540 metres long, it is the second longest track of the championship and has 15 turns – 10 right-handers and 5 left-handers. It is known for its demanding braking sections, particularly the first and the last, characterised by abrupt deceleration with a difference of more than 200 km/h between the initial and final speed.
