The 2024 MotoGP world champion, Jorge Martín, faces his second season with Aprilia with a renewed perspective. After a 2025 marked by injuries and certain tensions with the Noale factory, the Madrid-born rider assures that the team is now his family. A plot twist that promises to get people talking in the paddock.
The evolution of the RS-GP: adaptation and joint development 🏍️
Last season, Martín fought more against injuries than against his rivals, which slowed the development of the Aprilia RS-GP. Now, with the rider recovered and fully integrated, the work focuses on fine-tuning the electronics and chassis to adapt to his aggressive style. The factory has listened to his requests, seeking a bike that is more stable under braking and with better traction in slow corners. An adjustment process that defines the future of the project.
The year of the hug and the loose screw 🔧
They say you don't choose your family, but Aprilia and Martín have decided to give each other another chance after a 2025 of recriminations and casts. Now the Madrid-born rider speaks of brotherly love, just when everyone expected a big divorce. The next thing will be to see if that harmony translates into podiums or if, as in any family, they end up arguing over who left the fuel cap open.
