It’s now official: there will be Aprilias on the 2016 WorldSBK grid with new riders Alex de Angelis, Grand Prix winner and ex- MotoGP™ rider, and Lorenzo Savadori.

The 2 day MotorLand test planned for this week has seen the first session largely disrupted by high winds, with conditions leaving riders in the pits for a good part of the day.
