Leading MotoGP riders, such as Marc Marquez, have expressed their belief that there is no necessity for the contract arbitration authority similar to that in Formula 1. This discussion arose following Jorge Martin’s attempts to terminate his Aprilia contract prematurely, with the Italian team asserting that the agreement is binding until 2026. Unlike Formula 1’s Contract Recognition Board which historically resolved disputes, Marquez emphasized the importance of having a professional team and manager for contractual protection. French GP victor Johann Zarco supported MotoGP’s traditional contract approach and expressed satisfaction that the sport does not have a system like F1’s CRB. KTM’s Pedro Acosta echoed these thoughts, stressing the importance of clarity in contracts and having a reliable team. Rumors have swirled around Acosta potentially seeking a move from KTM to Honda for 2026, given his shared manager with Martin.
