Maverick Vinales, the Tech3 KTM rider, responded to questions about Jorge Martin’s attempt to leave Aprilia with a reference to his abrupt departure from Yamaha in 2021. Vinales initially said it wasn’t his concern, but he then shared his experience of how challenging it is when a deal turns sour, especially early in the season. He differentiated his case from Martin’s, highlighting the importance of staying focused and committed to giving 100% on the bike. Vinales acknowledged that while he was able to break his Yamaha contract, Aprilia is insisting that Martin fulfills his, a stance he now appreciates in hindsight. He emphasized the need for respect, honesty, and commitment in such situations, underlining the importance of clarity in communication for team harmony.
