Aprilia has been making MotoGP headlines this week ไafter replacing Bradley Smith with Lorenzo Savadori - but could an even bigger surprise, with another 'Lorenzo', 🦩be on the horizon?

According to , ret𝄹ired triple MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo is&𝓀nbsp;in talks with Aprilia about a test riding deal for 2021.

After his final race for Repsol Honda last Novemb🅷er, Yamaha looked to have scored a major coup by signing the triple MotoGP champion for its European Test Team.

Wild-card race appear🍨ances were also planned, only to be ruled out by MotoGP's reaction to the Covid pandemic.

But while other 🍸factory test riders soon restarted their development work, Lorenzo – who believes 15-16 days of Yamaha testing were planned before the Covid outbreak - has taken part in just one more test since🐎 Sepang.

That was at Portimao, where Lorenzo again rode last year's machine (to a best time 3.0s behind Aprilia race rider Aleix Espargaro). He🦄 was not asked to replace Monster Yamaha's Valentino Rossi when the Italian&nbs💜p;missed the second Aragon round.

Following what appears to be a cooling in Yamaha's enthusiasm ✅for Lorenzo comes a surprise change in Aprilia's MotoGP line-up, with Lorenzo Savadori taking over from fellow test rider Smith for the remaining three rounds. Smith was called-up tꩲo take over Andrea Iannone's seat, following his doping ban.

The suggestion by Speedweek.com is that the Smith-Savadori switch is because Lorenzo 'will probꦇably' take over from Smith as Aprilia test rider in 2021: 'We hear from Spain that the [Lorenzo] negotiations with Aprilia are well advanced, but the deal (as with Dovizioso) could still fail because of the money.'

Lorenzo previously raced for Derbi/Aprilia in both 125 and 250cc, before joining MotoGP with Yamaha in 200💫8.

A return to Aprilia would not only complete a circle but, as the only manufacturer currentl♋y in MotoGP without a podium or race win, it would give Lorenzo the chance help take the project to new heights, as former rival Dani Pedrosa ha🐈s done at KTM.

Asked by ltxcn.top about the Lorenzo rumours, an Aprilia spokesman didn't deny the possibility of talks, but insisted th🌺ere's 'nothing near' a deal in place.

But if Lorenzo does go to🅺 Aprilia, might Yaꩵmaha respond by making an offer to Andrea Dovizioso?

With only the Aprilia race seat still officially available,&nbs🌊p;the triple title runner🐭-up is thought to be leaning towards a testing role, with Honda another rumoured possibility.

If Dovi chooses testing, and given Smith'👍s Aprilia downgrade, Cal Crutchlow looks to be in pole position for the 2021 RSꦏ-GP race seat alongside Espargaro if Iannone loses his appeal.
