Bezzecchi wins and jokes… Aprilia takes him seriously: they really give him an Apecar

Never mind a trophy. Never mind a cup.

Marco Bezzecchi wins in Thailand, dominates like a true leader… and takes home an Ape. Yes, that one. Three wheels and all.

And no, it's not a joke.

MotoGP, Thai GP: Bezzecchi triumphs at Buriram, Acosta second

“Give me an Ape”… said and done

It all starts as a joke. The sort of thing Bez throws out with a smile, without thinking too much about it:
“As a prize? An Apecar”.

In the paddock, everyone laughs. Classic Bezzecchi line. End of story.

Spoiler: it wasn't the end.

The surprise nobody expected

Scene change. No circuit, no spotlights. We are at Valentino Rossi's Ranch.

Bezzecchi is training calmly… when Rivola and Savadori arrive with a film-like air.

And behind them it appears:
👉 a real Apecar, customised by Aprilia

Silence. Then laughter. Then disbelief.

Aprilia didn't just listen to the rider… it decided to take him literally.

The paddock's “meanest” Ape

It's no ordinary vehicle:

all-black livery

racing details

number 72

ironic stickers (like “don't race”… seriously?)

Basically a mix between a joke and a statement of identity.

Perfectly in Bez style.

Bezzecchi's secret? Being… Bezzecchi

On track he is ruthless: in Thailand he pulled clear, managing the race and pace like a veteran.

Off track?
Someone who laughs, jokes and stays himself.

And that is exactly what makes him different.

Now Brazil… but watch out for the requests 👀

MotoGP moves on, the season is heating up.
Bezzecchi is in form, Aprilia too.

But the real question is another one:

👉 what will he ask for next time?

Because if this goes on…
maybe they are already starting to worry at the factory.
