The options for Jorge Martin to interrupt the MotoGP rider market
Jorge Martin has announced his intention to leave Aprilia at the end of the current season, setting the rider market abuzz with speculation.
Martin’s confirmation indicates a possible break clause in his deal with Aprilia, as he aims to secure a new team for the 2026 MotoGP season.
Despite his injuries from the Qatar MotoGP race, Martin plans to give Aprilia a second chance to prove the potential of their bike upon his return.
If Martin and Aprilia cannot reconcile their differences, several teams, including Honda HRC Castrol, Prima Pramac Racing, Pertamina Enduro VR46, and LCR Honda Castrol, have been identified as potential destinations for him in 2026.
Honda seems to be Martin’s preferred choice for the upcoming season, while his return to Pramac or a move to teams like Pertamina Enduro VR46 or LCR Honda Castrol are also options under discussion in the ongoing rider market.
