|  | TEAM PROFILE | Aprilia's MotoGP bike has gained a reputation for being difficult to ride, and there are no signs it has dramatically improved for 2004. Former World Superbike champion Colin Edwards has a reputation as a strong development rider, but could do little with the three-cylinder bike last year. Edwards has moved to Honda in search of better machinery, leaving the Aprilia in the hands of a novice and a veteran. Jeremy McWilliams, 40, and British rookie Shane Byrne will find it tough.
