 Aprilia, making its factory return to MotoGP this season, has unveiled this race livery for Marco Melandri and Alvaro Bautista.

Winner of the former CRT category with its RSV4-based ART, Aprilia has joined forces with the Gresini team and brought forward its official MotoGP return by one season.

Melandri and Bautista will thus race an upgraded version of the ART, the RS-GP, in the factory class this year. The bike already has a pneumatic valve engine, with a seamless gearbox next on the list.

Aprilia have used a red and black livery during 2015 testing, adding the silver and white similar to its WSBK machines for today's launch.

The testing livery also featured a large Aprilia logo on the side of the fairings. The lack of such branding on the race design suggests Aprilia are hoping for a title sponsor to step for the start of the season.
Melandri has followed Aprilia's change of focus from World Superbike to MotoGP, where he won five races from 2003-2010.

However the 32-year-old Italian struggled badly during the 2015 tests at Sepang, being left at the bottom of the timesheets throughout last week's second visit, after which he tweeted “I can't ride, feeling disappointed for the guys...”

Bautista has remained with Gresini for its transition from satellite Honda to factory Aprilia team. Preparing for his sixth premier-class season, the Spaniard has three MotoGP podiums and one pole position to his credit. Bautista was 19th quickest at the end of the Sepang tests.

Melandri didn't want to go back to MotoGP. He wanted to stay in WSB.

yep theres a good thread over on af1 discussing his attiude at the testing .... look how much quicker his team mate was...he's moaning about the tyres but it took him a season to get bakc on it in wsbk so maybe he might up his game...apparently he's acting like a spoilt kid (again!)

It was funny as feck though. A Melandri with a chance of a win makes for some hilariously optimistic moves Ha ha.

There was no way Aprilia was going to shift Torres. Any consideration that was being given to that plan died during race one at PI. Sorry Marco...suck it up buttercup.
