On this week's episode of Ahead At The Apex, we are joined by Jake as we review the 2026 crop of bike liveries. There's a bit of a theme here, let's see if you can figure it out, a certain colour that keeps reappearing. Our top picks from this year are Lenovo Ducati, Trackhouse Aprilia, Factory Aprilia, and Red Bull KTM, all of whom have stayed true to their brand but evolved in what is mainly a filler year as we wait for a new set of regulations.

This episode, originally recorded before the MotoGP season began features a little speculation about the strength of the Aprilia bike this year, which seems to have been proven correct. We're very much looking forward to the rest of the season which continues this weekend in Brazil. Speak of recording this episode early, we at Ahead At The Apex want to draw attention to recent developments in the calendar, and some comments that were made during this episode. We mention the Qatar Grand Prix and how much we are looking forward to seeing the bikes race under the spotlights. Since recording, the Qatar race has been postponed, potentially indefinitely. Similarly, the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Formula 1 Grands Prix have been postponed. Our thoughts go out to the civilians in the region, and we hope the conflict is over soon.
