Jorge Martin has reportedly chosen the location of his 2027 MotoGP campaign, and it’s not with Aprilia.
Reportedly, 2024 MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin has made a decision about his future beyond this year, confirming that it will not involve Aprilia. Motorsport.com has stated that Martin is finalizing a deal to move from Aprilia to Yamaha for the 2027 MotoGP season, marking the beginning of MotoGP’s new 850cc era with the blue team. This move would close the door opened by Fabio Quartararo’s potential departure from Yamaha, while also creating a coveted opening at Aprilia for 2027. After being overlooked by Ducati, Martin joined Aprilia Racing for the 2025 season despite his success at Pramac, and faced a challenging debut season due to injuries and crashes. Despite initial rumors about leaving Aprilia early in 2026, Martin’s potential move to Yamaha has gained momentum following Quartararo’s rumored switch to Honda.
