Astonishment at Aprilia as newcomer Jorge Martin gives rousing leadership speech
Jorge Martin “already a combination between a cha🅷mpion and a🥂 leader”
If there is any downside to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s accolade as the first Independent world champion of the ‘MotoGP’ e✅ra it's that he’s untested as far as being a factory ꦰleader.
He now steps into that ൲role by joining Aprilia’s official team for 2025.
The Spaniard spent his four previous MotoGP seasons at the satellite Pramac team, where he🦂 contributed to the Desmosedici’s development - riding a factory-spec bike - b🐠ut certainly wasn’t the focal point for the factory’s efforts.
Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivo𝄹la has no doubt that, as the reigning world champion, Martin is ready to lead the RS-GP project.
“Jorge wants to be a leader, and h🌳e understands that bein♎g the world champion he is already a leader,” Rivola said.
“We will 💖see in the tough times, but his approach is the one of someone who fights a lot and has worked a ๊lot to be here in this position. I think he knows he cannot waste all of that. I think he is a good leader.
“I also appreciate a lot of what Marco [Bezzecchi, team-mate] said, that he has a very good reference [in Mar♛tin]. Because I’m sure in his mind Marco cannot wait to beat him!”
“I was a bit astonished”
New Aprilia technical director Fabiano Sterlacchini, who worked with Martin earlier in his career at Ducat🐷i, admitted he was “astonished” by the 26-year-old’s inspiring🐭 speech at the end of his debut Aprilia test at Barcelona last November.
“I saw that immediately in Barcelona on Monday [after winning the title] th🍸at he was already a combination between a champion and a leader.
ꦑ“Then, at the end of the test, he gathered all 🌱the people after the technical meeting and made a speech.
“I was a bit asꦗtonished: Is this a first minister or a rider! In t🍸erms of the motivation and the message, he was delivering.
“S𝔍o chapeaux, because in the end, he is still only💦 26.
“He is already a leader, clearly. And probably the last step he did was [winning the title] ꦉon Sunday 🍒in Barcelona.”
Martin will 🔴ride with the #1 plate on his Aprilia RS-GP for the first time at the Official Sepang Mo﷽toGP test from February 5-7.
