Trackhouse unveils 2026 MotoGP colours in Milan launch

Trackhouse revealed its satellite Aprilia RS-GP for the 2026 MotoGP season on Wednesday, ahead of the start of official testing in Malaysia.

Having held a joint event with its NASCAR Cup team in the United States last year, the North Carolina-based squad opted for a standalone launch in Milan to mark the beginning of its third MotoGP campaign.

The North Carolina-based squad revealed a revised version of the vibrant blue-and-black livery it introduced in 2025, complemented once again by yellow accents. The biggest addition is the addition of the American flag on both sides of the bike.

Trackhouse also confirmed that it will run a special Gulf livery at five grands prix — Thailand, Brazil, Italy, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Trackhouse heads into 2026 with an unchanged rider line-up, with a rejuvenated Raul Fernandez once again partnering MotoGP sophomore Ai Ogura.

The 2025 season proved a landmark campaign for Aprilia’s satellite squad, as Fernandez delivered its first MotoGP victory at the Australian Grand Prix. The Spaniard capitalised on the RS-GP’s improved competitiveness to finish a career-best 10th in the riders’ standings.

Ogura, meanwhile, made an encouraging start to his rookie season with a double top-five finish in Thailand, but was unable to sustain that form. Two separate injuries curtailed his progress, leaving him 16th at the end of the season.

Trackhouse itself finished a solid seventh in the teams’ championship, ending the year ahead of the factory Honda squad, Tech3 KTM and several other rivals.

Trackhouse’s manufacturer partner Aprilia had already unveiled its 2026-spec RS-GP last week at an event also held in Milan.

The Noale factory revealed that it had significantly revised its MotoGP contender, with updates spanning chassis, aerodynamics and electronics, even as it shifts focus to 2027 development. The power unit for 2026 has been improved, with Aprilia focusing on those parts that are not restricted by the engine freeze agreement.

Trackhouse will give the RS-GP26 its first on-track outing at the Sepang test from 3–5 February.
