Aprilia MotoGP boss Massimo Rivola knows Mandalika and Phillip Island could have been a great opportunity for Jorge Martin.
Aprilia’s strong MotoGP performances at Mandalika and Phillip Island made Massimo Rivola wonder what Jorge Martin could have achieved without his injury.
Despite Marco Bezzecchi being the favorite for victory at both races, he was deprived of glory in Australia due to a clash with Marc Marquez in Indonesia.
Another fast Aprilia rider, Raul Fernandez, won his first-ever MotoGP race in Australia, with Bezzecchi recovering to third place.
Rivola acknowledges Martin’s special capabilities and is already looking ahead to the 2026 season.
He believes Martin will be a strong contender for the championship alongside Bezzecchi in the future.
