And just like that, Aprilia All Stars celebrates a stunning 15,000 attendees, all of which contributed to the €200,000 raised to aid the communities affected by May’s floods in Emilia Romagna.
We’re told by Aprilia’s press release that the Italian navy was also there, complete with a few helicopters – the same machines chosen to bring relief to Emilia Romagnia’s communities.
“The Piaggio Group and Aprilia have donated a sum of €10 for every bike enthusiast who showed up at Misano, adding to this the proceeds from the many fundraising initiatives involving riders and spectators in a true solidarity race,” explains the press release.
Citizens who were a part of the event got to try out Aprilia’s 2023 range, get a good gander at the indomitable Aprilia RS-GP superbike currently doing damage in this season’s iteration of MotoGP, and see the all-new Tuareg 660, amidst time spent with hired entertainment, rubbing shoulders with professionals in the paddock, and more.
Noted names in attendance include the following (many of whom blasted that RS-GP to prime podium results):
- Aleix Espargaró
- Maverick Viñales
- Lorenzo Savadori
- Miguel Oliveira
- Raul Fernandez
- Max Biaggi
- Loris Capirossi
- Alex Gramigni
A huge congrats to Piaggio Group and all relevant parties for the aid delivered to a country in need!
