Jorge Martin turned a big corner with his understanding of the Aprilia on Saturday in testing
Jorge Martin felt like the Aprilia is finally his bike during the Buriram MotoGP test, marking his 2026 on-track debut with the team. Due to injuries and surgeries, the 2024 world champion missed the Sepang test last month. Despite a challenging first year with Aprilia, Martin enters the new season with only seven races under his belt on the RS-GP. After admitting to feeling like a rookie at times, Martin showed promise by finishing 13th overall on the first day of testing in Buriram. He praised the bike’s performance and credited ergonomic changes for making it feel more personalized, highlighting the team’s work in Malaysia and over the winter. Looking ahead, Martin plans to test new components to assist teammate Marco in bike development.
