Reigning world champion Jorge Martin admits it will be a “huge challenge” to defend his MotoGP title on the Aprilia in the 2025 season.
Martin signed a two-year deal with Aprilia after being overlooked by the factory Ducati team, despite winning the championship for Pramac last year. This move makes him the first champion to switch manufacturers for a title defense since Valentino Rossi in 2004. Martin faces a tough challenge as Aprilia finished third in the 2024 manufacturers’ championship. He admitted the uncertainty around the RS-GP bike makes it a huge challenge to defend his title. While he dreams of winning another title, for now, Martin’s focus is on doing his best for the upcoming season with Aprilia.
