Aprilia has made it clear that Jorge Martin is expected to stay with the team until the end of the 2026 MotoGP season, dismissing his attempt to be released early from the contract.
Martin had a clause in his contract allowing him to leave after the 2026 season, but Aprilia maintains that the contract is valid until the end of 2026.
The team has denied any negotiations to alter the contract’s duration and warned other teams against making offers to riders under contract.
Honda, a potential destination for Martin, is waiting for him to resolve issues with Aprilia before making any move.
Martin’s return to action is uncertain due to injuries, with a possible comeback at the German GP in July.
