“I am happy indeed, for me it is a joy to belong to the Aprilia family. Here I have found a big tradition and extraordinary competence in the races that Aprilia faces with high professionalism, and the 33 world titles won up to today are confirmation of this. Superbike is a new challenge, I want to risk all of my experience to help the new Aprilia RSV4 project. It will be a honor to be able to race beside Max Biaggi, he is a hero of mine and he was an inspiration to me in the first phases of my career, I am sure that together we will succeed in developing the best motorbike and to already get good results in the season 2009″.

" we complete the team for the World Superbike 2009. Aprilia faces difficult competition having as adversaries the greatest world constructors, it is a hard but fascinating challenge that needs interpreters of before greatness: Biaggi and Nakano are a couple of pilots at the same time fast, competitive and of great experience. This is the top for an innovative, technological project, being ambitious in sport like Aprilia RSV4″.
