Without a spot on Ducati’s factory team for 2025 to be Francesco Bagnaia’s teammate, Jorge Martín decided to accept an offer from Aprilia, thus becoming a factory rider in MotoGP next year.
In an interview with MCN, the current championship leader refrained from commenting on Martín’s decision to join the Noale manufacturer but predicts a successful future for Martín and Aprilia:
– I don’t know the dynamics behind Jorge Martín’s choice to go to Aprilia, I only have to focus on being a rider. Aprilia is a great team with a good bike and they chose a great rider, together they will have great successes.
Currently, Bagnaia leads the championship with ten points more than Martín. Both fought for the title against each other in 2023, and it is expected that this will continue until the end of the current season.
