Aprilia silent amid shock Jorge Martin 'exit clause' report
Is injured MotoGP ജchampion Jorge Martin considering an early exit from Aprilia?
Aprilia is not commenting on shock news that injured MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin m🎶ight exercise an option in his contract to leave at the end of this season, halfway through a two-year dea🎉l.
The report, by Motorsport.com, explains that Martin 'intends to leave Aprilia at the end of this season, invoking a clause in his contract that releases him from his second year i❀f he does not finish among the top finishers in the World Championship after the French GP.'
The fact ♌that Martin has missed all but one round so far, due to mul🐬tiple injuries, presumably does not render that clause redundant.
Aprilia told ltxcn.top they have ‘no comment’ on the report.
Meanwhile, AS.com adds that Martin✅ will ‘give [Aprilia] six races from his return to convince him not to exercise that clause and stay wiꦬth them in 2026’.
Martin’s pre-season wrist and ankle injuries forced him to miss all but the first hours of the Sepang test a✱nd the open🌳ing three rounds.
His Aprilia grand prix debut in Qatar☂ then ended in disaster when he fell and was clipped by Fabio di Giannantonio in the race, suffering eleven rib fractures and lung in❀juries.
But a “very encouraging” assessme⭕nt was given following scans on his eventual return to Europe, with MotoGP Medical Director Ángel Charte saying:
“Martin has perfect lungs… Moreover, of the theoretically 11 fractures he had, 3 remain: the seventh, the eighth aꦰnd the eleventh, which already s🦂how the ongoing progression of the callus.”
No potential return dat♛e has been given, although recent changes to 🎐the MotoGP rules mean that Aprilia can now grant Martin a private test.
Aside from the lost pre-season time, Martin’s injuries mean he has complete𝔉d just 69.940km of racing laps, plus 301🔯.280km in practice.
That compares with o🅷ver 680km of race laps for Fabio di Giannantonio and over 2000km of practice laps for Martin’s team-mate Marco Bezzecchi.
Aprilia’s best results this season were fourth (Sprint) and fifthꦆ (✅Grand Prix) in the Buriram season opener, with Trackhouse rookie Ai Ogura.
Ogura remains their top rider in the world ch𒆙ampionship, in tenth, while Aprilia has now slipped to fifth and last in the constructors’ standings.
It is unclear what alternatives Martin might be considering for 2026, with the only ♛factory team seat pot𒆙entially available being Luca Marini’s Honda ride.
Of the Independent teams, Martin’s former Pramac squad and VR46 Ducati each have o🅰ne seat s༺till to be confirmed.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at🍰 the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
