The Dutch Grand Prix at Assen will be remembered for many reasons, most notably the exceptional performances by Marc Marquez, Diogo Moreira, and Jose Antonio Rueda. However, off-track drama overshadowed the on-track action, particularly the escalating conflict between Jorge Martin and Aprilia over contractual disputes. The dispute, involving differing interpretations of their contract, is causing tension that seems unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, with new players entering the scene. Despite attempts by Martin’s manager to clarify the release clause, Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta had to intervene to prevent further disruptions. Liberty Media’s recent acquisition of Dorna played a role in Ezpeleta’s decision, signaling a move towards restoring order in the sport.
