Jorge Martin has ended his relationship with Red Bull amid Aprilia’s Monster title partnership
Jorge Martin has parted ways with Red Bull due to Aprilia’s new partnership with Monster Energy, expressing that it was beyond his control.
Aprilia announced the sponsorship deal with Monster Energy during the Italian Grand Prix, making the brand its title partner starting in 2027.
For the remainder of the season, Monster Energy’s logo will be prominently displayed on the bikes of Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin.
This change marks a significant moment for Aprilia, which had been without a title sponsor since becoming a standalone factory team in 2022.
As a result of the new partnership, Jorge Martin will leave Aprilia at the end of the season to join Yamaha, ending his 15-year association with Red Bull.
In place of Red Bull branding on his helmet, Martin will promote his new restaurant, Kumo, opening in Madrid this year.
