MotoGP sezona 2017. službeno počinje testiranjima u Sepangu u Maleziji nakon zimske pauze tijekom koje su u Racing odjelu bili zauzeti razvojem RS-GP motocikla koji su prvi put izveli na stazu prije manje od godine dana. Dobar napredak koji je Aprilija u drugom dijelu prošle sezone pokazala s MotoGP motociklom, prvim kojeg je u potpunosti razvila (počev od ekskluzivnog, uskog V4 agregata), motivirao je cijeli tim na iskorak u kvaliteti.
