“No negotiations underway”: Aprilia shuts down rumors of a possible Jorge Martín exit
Aprilia Racing has firmly stepped in to quash any speculation regarding Jorge Martín’s future. Following rumors of potential market moves and behind-the-scenes talks, the Noale-based team reiterated that their agreement with the Spanish rider is valid until the end of 2026, and that no contractual changes are being discussed.
Un messaggio chiaro anche agli altri team: Martín è sotto contratto e ogni offerta sarebbe da considerarsi illegittima.
The full statement from Aprilia Racing:
“The contract between Aprilia Racing and Jorge Martín is valid and effective, and as such must be respected until its expiration (end of 2026) by both parties. Aprilia Racing has honored the contract in all its terms, timelines, and conditions, and will continue to do so in the future. Aprilia Racing denies the existence of any negotiations between the parties regarding a change in the contract’s duration, which remains as originally agreed. The team does not comment on matters that do not directly concern it, but expects other teams not to make any kind of offer to riders who are already under contract — such behavior would, after all, be illegitimate.
The entire team will support Jorge in his physical recovery, as it always has, and looks forward to seeing him back on track with the RS-GP.”
