Aprilia signs MotoGP deal with Monster Energy

Aprilia Racing has signed a multi-year deal with Monster Energy, which will be the new title sponsor for the Noale brand’s factory MotoGP team.

The new partnership is effective immediately, with Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin’s RS-GP26 machines set to feature the Monster logo on the side fairing and at the rear of the bikes. There will also be Monster branding on the front fairing of the machines. 

Aprilia Racing has so far dominated the 2026 MotoGP season, with Bezzecchi and Martin combining to win four races. Both riders are also at the head of the championship standings, with just 15 points separating the pair. 

The agreement with Monster Energy is a very significant one as Aprilia has not had a title sponsor since becoming a full factory team in 2022.

Aprilia Racing CEO, Massimo Rivola, said this about the new partnership: 

“We are extremely happy to announce this partnership with a global company like Monster Energy, who will be alongside us in 2026 as main sponsor and who will take on the role of title sponsor in 2027. This agreement represents a milestone for Aprilia Racing and the crowning moment of our path of success. 

“For this reason, we are particularly proud of this collaboration which will contribute to further reinforcing the ambition of our project. I would like to thank Monster Energy for the trust they have placed in us, and we will do everything we can to ensure that it pays off as we begin this new chapter together.” 

While Aprilia will have Monster Energy onboard for the next few seasons, it remains to be seen who will be riding the team’s bikes. Bezzecchi is locked into a multi-year deal with the team, however, Martin’s future is unclear after being heavily linked with Yamaha prior to the 2026 campaign getting underway.
