Jorge Martin believes that the extended break in MotoGP will have a positive impact on his physical condition, despite potentially disrupting Aprilia’s early-season momentum. The month-long gap between COTA and Jerez allows Ducati and other teams valuable time to regroup. For Martin, who is still recovering from winter surgery for previous injuries, the timing of the break is beneficial for his condition. He expressed that pushing his body to the limit and then resting helps him improve his performance next time. Martin managed to secure a debut RS-GP victory at COTA and a second place in the following race, demonstrating his determination and skill on the track. Despite potential future changes in his team, Martin remains focused on fighting for Aprilia in the current season and aims to continue his successful progression. Having already proven himself as a champion, Martin is expected to join the factory Yamaha team for the new 850cc era in 2027.
