Jorge Martin intends to leave Aprilia at the end of this season, invoking a clause in his contract that releases him from the second year in 2026 if he is not among the top riders in the world championship standings after the French Grand Prix, Autosport has learned.
The agreement signed by Aprilia and the reigning world champion last year at the Italian GP currently holds no binding effect for the second season. Autosport understands that in the version accepted by Aprilia, Martin’s representatives included a clause granting him full freedom to accept offers from other teams if he was not among the title contenders after last Sunday’s French GP at Le Mans.
