Big bang! Jorge Martin moves to Aprilia
"Alea iacta est", the die is cast - Jorge Martin's departure from Pramac-Ducati has caused a sensation in MotoGP! The 26-year-old Spaniard is moving to Aprilia after the current season, where he has signed a two-year contract to replace Aleix Esparagaro, who is retiring from racing ...
All or nothing - Martin had announced several times that he was determined to switch to a factory team in the future. Preferably to that of Ducati, where he would have met world champion Francesco Bagnaia as a stable rival or colleague.
"An important building block!"
However, despite recent supposedly positive signals, the Ducati factory team does not seem to have been 100% convinced, and a final agreement was apparently repeatedly postponed.
Too long for Martin - who has now broken off negotiations and is giving Ducati the cold shoulder by signing up with Italian rival Aprilia instead. The latter's Head of Motorsport Massimo Rivola was enthusiastic: "In view of our unstoppable growth, Jorge will be an important building block in achieving the goals we are aiming for!"
