FOUR YEARS?! 😲 Has Pecco Bagnaia made the right decision for 2027?

Yes and I can also see the logic why Aprilia hired him for 4 years. They are developing a new bike, and it's a long term project. Imagine what happened if after 2 years, they changed the riders and the new riders brought the bike to another direction? so much progress would be lost and they'd go nowhere.

Can't see Aprilia already stacked paying Pecco at his more downside age now a 4yr contract at how much per season again? Yamaha might but Aprilia can't.

Yes - Aprilia isnt going to let off the gas - theyve improved base design, aero and just as important administrative and process workflows between team & factory.. unless some crazy economic condition spins them upside down. there’s never been a contract you can’t break if both sides want out.. + 63 has a giant chip on shoulder and wants to stick it to Duc.

Ooof, four years is a very long time. I think it's the right decision to take Aprilia over Yamaha, but I'm not convinced that such a long contract was the right thing to do.
