MotoGP world champion Jorge Martín may be on his way out of Aprilia Racing earlier than expected. Despite signing a two-year deal that began in 2025, things haven’t gone according to plan—and Martín might already be looking for a way out.
A Short-Lived Partnership?
Jorge Martín joined Aprilia with high hopes, but recent reports reveal he is considering breaking his contract by the end of the 2025 season. The key reason? A performance clause in his deal allows him to leave if he isn’t among the top riders in the standings after the French Grand Prix.
Aprilia’s slow start to the season, combined with Martín’s injury struggles that saw him miss multiple races, has pushed the champion to reevaluate his future.
Frustrations Grow
Martín’s team reportedly requested that Aprilia extend the evaluation period until the San Marino Grand Prix in September, giving him more time to prove himself post-injury. However, tensions are growing behind the scenes, and Aprilia is said to be considering legal action if Martín decides to walk away early.
Who Could Sign Martín Next?
If Martín does leave Aprilia, he won’t be short of options. Teams like Honda, as well as satellite Ducati and Yamaha outfits, could show strong interest in signing the talented Spaniard for the 2026 season. A move like this could cause a major shake-up in the MotoGP paddock.
What’s Next?
As things stand, all eyes are on Jorge Martín and Aprilia to see what decision will be made before or after the San Marino Grand Prix. Will they part ways? Or will Martín stay and aim to turn the season around?
