Jorge Martin breaks silence, confirms intentions to leave Aprilia MotoGP team
Reigning world champion wants to quit Aprilia

Reigning MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin has revealed in a statement that he is intending to leave Aprilia at the end of the 2025 season, following bombshell 🀅reports this month.
Following the French Grand Prix, a stunning report emerged from Spanish media claiming 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin was loo⭕king to exercise a performance clause in his contrac🍌t with Aprilia to leave the manufacturer at the end of 2025.
The performance clause is based on where Aprilia was in the championship after the first six 𒁏rounds of the season, though there were reports that Martin was willing to extend this deadline.
Th🐟is came despite Martin spending most of 2025 on the sidelines with injury.
Ahead of the British Grand Prix, Aprilia released a statement effe✃ctively shutting🅺 down any prospect of Martin breaking contrac♈t and warding ꦦoff interested parties.
It 💖i﷽s thought Honda is Martin’s preferred destination.
Aprilia went on to win the British GP with Marco Bezzecchi, with CEO Massimo Rivola stating afterwards that this was a message to Martin t🐼hat the RS-GP can be 🔴a winner.
Mar꧋tin has been silent since the initial reports broke, but has now taken to his Instagram to release a lengthy statement on the matter where he confirms he is looking to leave Aprilia at the end of the year.
He confirms that he has been willing to extend the performance clause 🔯deadline, and is urging Aprilܫia to “respect” its contract with him.
The full statement reads: “I would like to share with all the fans, medi🐲a and people who follow my career 🌄a clear explanation about my situation with Aprilia.
“At no time have I ever breached the contract. When we signed it, I agreed with Aprili⛎a that, if certain circumstances were not met, I reserved the ri𝓡ght to decide my future for 2026.
“This was an essential coꦜndition for me to accept the contract💞 proposal they offered me at that time.
“When🌼 I made the decision to change manufacturers last year, one of my premises was to have the possibility to test the bike in r💞eal circumstances and to understand the team and its working methodology.
“In this way I could feel comfortable signing for tow years instead one, and so we i🍌💝ncluded that condition.
“Faced with the situation of having to make a decision on a date that is established by contract, I෴ have decided to exercise my right to release myself for the 2026 season.
“I have always done so respectfully, clearly and w🧸ith the sole intention of taking control of my future as a professional athꦇlete.
“Unfortunately, the circumstances that have occurred as a result of the crashes, although it is true that they do not affect what we agreed, have🌸 conditioned this phase.
“This is why I have always been in open dialogue with Aprilia to extend this period to a certain numb💃er of grands pღrix after my return to competition.
“The aim is that both parties can give each other a second chance and feel comfortable before making a decision for 2026. I have always been honest with Aprilia🍌, I have always valued the bike, the team and the effort off all of the people part of the project.
“The only thing that I ask is that my will and the spirit of what we agreed at the time with Aprilia will be 🦩respected.
“There is no conflict or reproach🐻. I just want to be able to look ahead with clarity, after very difficult times and a very serious injury, and to continue to give the best of myself of and off the track.”
Aprilia has not yet responded to this, though Martin’s statement is at odds with the manufacturer’s releaseꦐd last week.
