LOW BLOW - Martin wants to part ways with Aprilia after 2025!
autoX
|June 2025
Reigning world champion Jorge Martin has dropped a bombshell, admitting that he's pushing for an early exit from Aprilia Racing Team at the end of 2025.
In a detailed message shared through social media, the Spaniard indicated that he's all set to 'exercise' his right to end the twoyear contract with the Italian racing outfit prematurely:
"When we signed it, I agreed with Aprilia that if certain conditions were not met, I would reserve the right to decide my future for 2026."
"When I decided last year to change manufacturers, one of my key requirements was to test the bike in real conditions and understand the team's dynamic and working methods. That way, I could feel confident in signing for two years instead of one, and that's why we included this condition. Faced with the need to make a decision by a date set in the contract, I have chosen to exercise my right to be released for the 2026 season."

I am at a stage in life when a phone call from friends or family means one of two things — either an invitation to a major life event or news of someone's passing. In such moments, what you need is quiet reliability. And that's exactly what the Honda Elevate offered — not excellence, but presence.
