Jorge Martin, the new leader at Aprilia, opened his heart to the sparks of his relationship with Marco Bezzecchi, his future teammate. Together, they form an explosive duo for the upcoming season, but their shared history is strewn with fireworks.

Martin et Marco Bezzecchipromises to be explosive. The two men, who have often been rivals, even enemies, will have to coexist within the same team. Their respective backgrounds and their personalities promise sparks.
The duo Jorge Martin et Marco Bezzecchi chez Aprilia for the 2025 MotoGP season promises to be explosive. If the two pilots share a common ambition to propel Aprilia to new heights, their checkered past and their rivalries on the track add a complex dimension to their collaboration.
Jorge Martin et Marco Bezzecchi have a history of rivalries dating back to their years in Moto3, where Martin won his title in 2018 with Bezzecchi 46 points behind him. Their relationship has since been punctuated by clashes, notably: in 2023, during the Austrian Sprint where Bezzecchi expressed his frustration with Martin after a pileup caused by the Spaniard.
Their dynamic was further exacerbated by the close friendship of
Bezzecchi with Pecco Bagnaiabitter rival of Martin in the fight for the 2024 title.
Martin did not hesitate to address these tensions in an interview with Motorsport: “ it is clear that Bezzecchi hasn't been my best friend in recent years. Since we fought in Moto3 we have had many scuffles. »

Jorge Martin also highlights the importance of maintaining a professional relationship with
Bezzecchi for the good of the team: “ what matters to me is that my teammate is competitive.

Valentino Rossi et
Pecco Bagnaia. Personal tensions will need to be put aside to enable effective technical collaboration.
