The decision of Jorge Martin to leave Aprilia after just one race surprised the paddock media due to its suddenness. Despite the bike’s lack of competitiveness compared to Ducati’s, Martin’s departure was unexpected given his limited time on the RS-GP25.
Injuries hampered Martin’s pre-season testing, and his return at round four in Qatar resulted in further setbacks from crashes.
Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola expressed a desire to build a relationship with Martin and highlighted the impact of his absence on the team’s performance.
Both Rivola and team manager Paulo Bonora emphasized their affection for Martin and optimism in resolving the situation amiably.
While Aprilia is eager to retain Martin, efforts to mend the strained relationship raise questions about the effectiveness of retaining a rider against their wishes.
