Jorge Martin growing in confidence, says Aprilia updates brought “another step” as he chases team-mate Marco Bezzecchi’s MotoGP title lead at Le Mans.
Jorge Martin is heading to the Le Mans MotoGP this weekend in a confident mood, aiming to build on progress made at the Jerez test where he caught up on Aprilia parts and tested new developments.
Despite ranking last among RS-GP riders at Jerez, Martin expressed optimism after feeling improvements with each new part tested on the bike, particularly in turning and rear grip.
Martin, still adjusting to the Aprilia, missed last year’s Le Mans race due to injury and is looking to validate the positive results from Jerez with a strong performance this weekend.
On the other hand, Marco Bezzecchi, currently leading the championship, is eager to compete at Le Mans, aiming to continue his success and maintain his lead over Martin.
Both riders are focused on working with their teams to be competitive throughout the weekend and achieve good results in the upcoming race.
