The Trackhouse Aprilia team has launched its 2026 MotoGP season with a new livery for its two riders.
The new paint scheme for the 2026 season is relatively unchanged for Trackhouse, who keep the blue, black, and fluorescent yellow colours from last year albeit in a different pattern. Any hopes of season-long Gulf colours can be put away until next year, although it was confirmed during the presentation that there will be the return of the Gulf livery at five races this year.
The line-up at Trackhouse is unchanged for 2026, with Ai Ogura and Raul Fernandez remaining with the American-owned team.
Fernandez was arguably the breakout rider of 2025, with the probably exception of Fermin Aldeguer. But what is certainly true is that few people would have expected Fernandez to win a race in 2025, yet he was victorious in Australia and almost won again in Valencia, missing out to Marco Bezzecchi by less than one second.
Fernandez’s form improved throughout 2025, as did the performance of the Aprilia RS-GP, which became arguably the strongest bike in MotoGP by the end of last season.
The RS-GP remains in the Trackhouse garages this year and will be a source of optimism for the team based on its performance, although much of the expectation for the Noale factory is centred on its factory riders: Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin.
Fernandez’s win last year means that Trackhouse lost its status as MotoGP’s last team without a premier class victory, but repeating it this year will be tough, especially if Marc Marquez remains injury free – that particular possibility will reduce the winning potential for everyone other than Marquez, though, in fairness.
