Many sport riders dream of lapping world-class MotoGP circuits, carving the same lines as their favorite Grand Prix motorcycle racers.

Imagine doing just that; training with some of the world’s most famed moto racers, with Max Biaggi as your head coach.

The all-new Aprilia Pro Experience provides the opportunity to complete this feat at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Northern Italy this May.

Here's the Aprilia Pro Experience lineup: coaches Lorenzo Savadori, Max Biaggi, and Andrea Iannone, with on-track riders Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales. (Aprilia/)

Heading up the coaching staff is Biaggi, who holds six world titles: four straight in 250cc World Championships (1994-1997) and two in World Superbike (2010, 2012). Biaggi, who will be inducted into the MotoGP Legends Hall of Fame ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello in May, will have some “super coach” assistance from other notable world-class motorcycle racers: Lorenzo Savadori and Andrea Iannone.

Savadori claimed the European 125 GP title with Aprilia in 2008 and is currently a test rider for Aprilia. He also dominated the CIV Superbike season, winning six out of eight races in 2020 to take the title. In addition, he tests the RS-GP MotoGP prototype and will compete as a wildcard in select rounds this season. Iannone is also a former Aprilia MotoGP pilot and has experience across Grand Prix Motorcycle Championship racing since 2005.

Participants will turn laps with Aprilia Racing MotoGP riders Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales. Both GP pilots will discuss their lifestyles as international motorcycle racers competing at the top level of their sport.

Of the one-day event slated for Sunday, May 8, Aprilia says in the press release, “Each ‘super coach’ will be assigned to four participants, thereby ensuring as much attention and supervision as possible for everyone both during the training activities in the box and during practice on the track.

“The exclusive package includes six sessions, twenty minutes each, astride the bike that has set the bar in the superbike category for years: the refined and powerful Aprilia RSV4 Factory, the same one the rider-coaches will also be riding, to guarantee a truly memorable day.”

During the day, Aprilia Pro Experience riders will take breaks with their coaches, each one limited to only four riders, and analyze their laps through the onboard video from each RSV4 Factory model. Participants will also receive professional photos from the event.
