Jorge Martín achieved one of his life goals in 2024 by becoming MotoGP world champion, and while he had previously said that he could win no more titles and still be content having fulfilled an objective, the rider stated that he wants to leave his mark on the category.
In the podcast Tengo un Plan, quoted by Crash, Martín, who in 2025 will wear Aprilia Racing colors in what will be his first time in MotoGP with a non-Ducati bike, said that leaving his mark is a goal: ‘I want to be someone: a MotoGP legend. I want to be remembered and leave a legacy for future generations’
To the other publication, Martín had already stated that his commitment and dedication will remain the same, which if true, is a sign that he may indeed be remembered for generations: ‘I think on a personal level nothing has changed in me. On a professional level, obviously, it has changed because now I’m world champion and my name will always be there and this is cool, it’s very cool, after all the struggle and all the sacrifice we had. On a personal level, I’m the same person, I have the same friends and I will continue to get up to train the same way when necessary to prepare for what’s coming.’
2025 promises to be challenging as Martín is not on the most competitive bike on the grid from the start and will have to be in the role of outsider rather than favorite.
