One of the biggest headlines of 2025 has been the ongoing saga surrounding Jorge Martin. After months of speculation, statements, and rumours, the reigning champion has confirmed that he will remain with Aprilia Racing for the 2026 season.

Despite public comments from his manager and Aprilia’s CEO, the Spaniard put the rumours to rest by declaring, “In the end, nothing changes.” With Martin’s seat secured, Aprilia’s lineup remains one of the strongest heading into next year.

Miguel Oliveira’s Next Chapter

After being left without a MotoGP seat, Miguel Oliveira’s future was up in the air. But the Portuguese rider has now found a new challenge, moving to WorldSBK with the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team for 2026. The move marks a fresh start for Oliveira, who brings his Grand Prix experience to the superbike stage.

Meanwhile, Nicolo Bulega will continue in WorldSBK with Aruba.it Racing – Ducati, but will also take on an additional role as an official Ducati MotoGP test rider, focusing on preparations for the 2027 rule changes. Ducati’s future lineup looks promising too, with Fermin Aldeguer already showing strong form as their newest rookie at BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP.

All Eyes on 2026
