Earlier today, our colleagues at Motorsport broke the news that Jorge Martín is looking to get out of his contract with the factory Aprilia MotoGP team at the end of the 2025 season. And honestly, if you've been paying attention to the kind of season he's been having since he was pushed out of the Ducati fold, it's hard to blame him.
2025 has, in pretty much every respect, been the kind of year that most riders—especially if you were a freaking world champion last year—would like nothing more than to forget.
It's not clear at this point whether Martín's management team and Aprilia will be able to come to a satisfactory agreement for both parties. But assuming they do, there's a rather important next question to consider. Assuming Martín moves on at the end of 2025, who steps into his spot with the Aprilia factory racing team?
