Aprilia Responds to Jorge Martin Exit Rumours 

Aprilia Responds to Jorge Martin Exit Rumours

Aprilia Racing has officially responded to reports that reigning world champion Jorge Martin is looking to exit his contract early, firmly denying any discussions have taken place regarding a premature termination of their current agreement, which runs until the end of 2026.

The statement, released ahead of this weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, comes after a huge piece of news that claimed the Spaniard was exploring an exit clause in his contract following the French Grand Prix, citing dissatisfaction with the performance of the Aprilia RS-GP. Despite having spent minimal time on the bike in 2025 due to injuries, Martin was reportedly considering activating a performance clause to leave the team by season’s end.

According to the report, the reigning champion had initially aimed to evaluate the competitiveness of the bike by the French GP but remained unconvinced. It was further suggested that he had proposed extending the clause deadline to September and was eyeing a possible switch to the factory Honda team.

Aprilia, however, has now broken its silence, stressing that the agreement with Martin remains valid and binding, with no amendments or negotiations underway.

“The contract between Aprilia Racing and Jorge Martín is valid and in effect, and as such, it must be respected by both parties until its expiration (end of 2026). Aprilia Racing has honoured it in full, within the agreed upon timelines and terms, and will continue to do so in the future,” the statement read.

“Aprilia Racing denies that any negotiations have taken place between the parties to modify the duration of the contract, which remains as originally agreed upon. The team has no comment on matters that do not directly concern it but expects other teams to refrain from making any kind of offer to riders who are under contract. Such behaviour would, in any case, not be legitimate.”

Aprilia also reaffirmed its support for Martin during his recovery process, as the Spanish rider remains sidelined with injuries and is not expected to return to racing until at least the German Grand Prix in July. Martin has yet to publicly comment on the situation.

Meanwhile, his teammate Marco Bezzecchi arrives at Silverstone with confidence. In 2023, the Italian rider claimed pole position and finished second in the sprint race at the British circuit. He also secured second place in the 2021 Moto2 race after starting from pole.

Test rider Lorenzo Savadori will also be in action this weekend, continuing development work on the RS-GP25 to gather critical data and improve the bike’s competitiveness during the ongoing championship.
