Monster Energy signs multi-year deal with Aprilia Racing as team's first title sponsor

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia Racing has announced a multi-year sponsorship partnership with Monster Energy, beginning from the 2026 Grand Prix of Italy, with the global energy drink brand set to become the team's first-ever title sponsor from the 2027 MotoGP season.

MotoGP's official website reported that the agreement will see Monster Energy's iconic three-claw logo placed on the factory RS-GP bikes, on riders' leathers and across the team's key assets from 2026, with the partnership escalating to title sponsorship status at the start of the following season.

The deal arrives at a moment of considerable momentum for Aprilia Racing. In 2025, the Noale-based manufacturer took its most wins in a single MotoGP season to date, achieved third place in the riders' championship with Marco Bezzecchi, and finished second in the manufacturers' standings. In 2026, Aprilia has taken the first three Grand Prix wins of the season, finished on the podium in the first five races and recorded a historic 1-2-3 podium lockout at the French Grand Prix, with its riders currently leading both the rider and team standings.

Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing, said the agreement represents a milestone for the team and the crowning moment of its path of success, adding that he is particularly proud of the collaboration and that the team will do everything possible to ensure the trust placed in them by Monster Energy pays off as this new chapter begins.
