Aprilia Hires Sterlacchini
Neil Morrison | October 8, 2024
The Romano Albesiano move from Aprilia to Honda represents a significant blow for Aprilia, that confirmed Fabiano Sterlacchini, formerly of Ducati and KTM, as his replacement.
Fabiano Sterlacchini, here in his KTM days, is a big hire for Aprilia.
Current riders Maverick Vinales and Raul Fernandez were shocked and even downcast due to Albesiano’s departure. “It’s difficult for me because I have a good relationship with Romano,” said Fernandez. “I think he worked well in Aprilia. He’s one of the people who most improved this project, so for me, it’s disappointing.”
Yet Jorge Martin attempted to maintain a positive outlook. “I feel everybody in Aprilia is happy,” he said. “So, I think, will be a big change and a good change for us. Also, I think Fabiano has a lot of experience with Ducati and KTM, so will give a lot of know-how to Aprilia, so, will be good.”CN
