The announcement came as a great surprise this afternoon: Jorge Martín has signed a multi-year contract with Aprilia, where he will move starting from the 2025 MotoGP season.
This means the rider is leaving Ducati – with unconfirmed rumors suggesting that the Borgo Panigale manufacturer backed out of its intentions to promote the current championship leader to the factory team, opting instead for Marc Márquez.
True or not, it is certain that Martín will be with Aprilia after four years with Pramac Ducati. Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola spoke about the signing, hinting that the deal was closed between yesterday and today:
– A path of unstoppable growth, Jorge is a building block to reach the goal we are all looking for with great hunger at Aprilia Racing. Thanks to Dr. Michele Colaninno for this opportunity, we spoke last night and without wasting any time we made the decision.
