Jorge Martín will end his tenure with Pramac Racing at the close of the 2024 MotoGP season. Initially favored to secure Ducati’s second factory seat, Martín’s prospects dimmed following Marc Márquez’s rumored pressure tactics and potential departure from Ducati. Ultimately, Ducati reconsidered, leading Martín to sign a multi-year contract with Aprilia, replacing Aleix Espargaró.
Having joined Pramac in 2021, Martín quickly made a mark with a pole and podium finishes, followed by his first victory in Austria in 2022. Despite his achievements, Ducati chose Enea Bastianini for their factory team. Martín rebounded in 2023, challenging for the championship and finishing as runner-up to Pecco Bagnaia. In 2024, he has continued his strong form, leading the standings with multiple victories and podiums.
Upon the announcement of his move to Aprilia, Pramac Racing expressed their support for Martín until the season’s end. Team owner Paolo Campinoti and Team Manager Gino Borsoi praised Martín’s talent and contributions, vowing to strive for the world championship together.
Paolo Campinoti: “We welcomed a talented rookie to our team, and today we’re working with one of MotoGP’s strongest riders. The progress we’ve made together is incredible. After the Valencia GP, we will bid farewell to Martín, wishing him the best for his future.”
Gino Borsoi: “I am grateful and proud to work with Jorge, one of the most talented riders I’ve known. We will continue to give our best to achieve the maximum together, focusing on this fantastic season. I hope Jorge can enjoy the rest of the season with us now that his future is decided.”
