In a significant stride towards the revival of the Aprilia brand in the realm of African raids, two specially developed Aprilia Tuareg motorcycles are set to compete in the upcoming Transanatolia Rally, scheduled to run from September 2 to 9, 2023 in Turkey.
This ambitious endeavor is part of the "Back to Africa" project and marks a pivotal moment in Aprilia's journey back to the African desert. The brand from Noale, Venice, will be fielding two Tuaregs that are specifically modified to tackle the rigors of the desert rally stage. Two riders, Jacopo Cerutti and Francesco Montanari, will be saddling up on these bikes. The pair have already made their mark on the Italian Motorally Championship, and are ready to serve as Aprilia’s main men heading into the rally rounds.
