The Aprilia MotoGP CEO believe🌺s the current dynamics of the WorldSBK class don’t fit with what Aprilia wants to do.

The Itaಞlian brand is wanted in WorldSBK by series organiser Dorna, but it doesn’t have a motorcycle that meets the criteria, as of no📖w.

In terms of the MotoGP class, making bikes slower has been a prominent topic of discussion over the last few seasons, as the bikes are sometimes h✱itting the type of top speeds ܫthat are considered very dangerous. 

Superbikes a♔re not as fast as MotoGP, but developments in the series will always tend to follow that of MotoGP, however, Rivola began his argument against Aprilia joining the Superbike class by delving into the top speed discussion.

Speaking to , Rivola said: “In my opinion, making the MotoGP bikes too slow isn’t very smart either. My first argument was that 🎶we can’t be slo𒅌wer than the superbikes.”

“We also need a 𒁃price cap for the series machines because it is ridiculous to allow 45,000 euro bikes to compete agꦇainst 25,000 euro bikes.

“We are not interested in the Superbike World Championship because at the mom🥀ent it looks like a MotoGP B championship. If they make fair rules, then I’m happy to be there too.”

Those coꦯmments were directed in large part at Ducati, who are leading the way in terms of development, but💮 also the price range for modern Superbike machinery.

Japanese brands don’t tend to sell their bikes for the same price and thus Ducati c🍎ould be seen as having an advantage. 

Rivola then a💎dmitted a change of rules for superbikes should be made: “The only future I see for Super🌺bikes is Superstock rules.

“Th🎉ey should keep the same cool name, but just unscrew the indicators and rearview mirror and 🐓then race. 

“That's🥂 the message that every manufacturer wants to convey because then they can sell the motorcycles.”
