We will know better next winter when he test our bike and then especially in the race, where there are many variables. We certainly have the potential to do well . Therefore, I want all the riders to take Aprilia as high as possible ,” Biaggi remarked.
Martín’s move to Aprilia comes at a crucial time.

He emphasized the importance of winter testing to fine-tune the bike and integrate Martín into the team dynamics. “Winter testing will be crucial to understand how Martín adapts to the bike and how we can optimize his performance,” Biaggi noted.
Martín’s entry into Aprilia is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the team’s position in MotoGP. With Espargaró’s experience and Viñales’ skillset, the addition of Martín is expected to create a well-rounded and formidable team. The upcoming season will be a critical period for Aprilia as they aim to translate their potential into consistent race-winning performances.
