Jorge Martin’s sudden decision to leave Aprilia after just one race weekend surprised many in the paddock, given his limited time on the RS-GP25. Martin’s injuries during pre-season testing and extended recovery meant he missed valuable time to test and work with Aprilia’s team.
Despite the setbacks, Aprilia’s CEO expressed a desire to build a relationship with Martin and highlighted the impact his absence had on the team’s performance. Team manager Bonora also expressed affection for Martin and optimism about resolving the situation.
While Aprilia’s determination to retain Martin is admirable, repairing the strained relationship and restoring his enthusiasm for the team will be crucial moving forward. The team’s focus on reestablishing trust and collaboration with Martin reflects their commitment to their star rider.
