Future Aprilia rider next season, Jorge Martin confided to being satisfied with this choice for his future and, in the immediate future, affirms that he will have the same support from Ducati.
The game of musical chairs has panicked in MotoGP. While Marc Marquez has tipped the scales in his favor regarding a handlebar within the official Ducati team, Jorge Martin has chosen to join Aprilia from 2025. The “Martinator” will have Marco Bezzecchi as his teammate, who will replace Maverick Viñales since the latter signed for KTM to evolve at Tech3. On the eve of the first tests for the Dutch Grand Prix, in the “cathedral” of Assen, the Spanish driver confided that having already defined his future is one less weight on his shoulders in the race for the title of champion of the world. “I am focused,” he told the press. My mind is finally freed, I think I can do a good job. I am confident that with this freed mind, focusing on the race, it will be good for me. We’ll see what we can do. » Engaged with Ducati until the last round of the season, Jorge Martin assures that he will “give 100%” or in any case do everything to get victory.
Martin: “I will be much happier next year”
“They told me that I will have the same equipment as until now,” added the Pramac team rider about the Ducati leaders. I am confident that there will not be the slightest problem and that I will be able to fight in fair conditions against Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez. » However, the day after the Valencia Grand Prix, the native of Madrid will change his status. He will become the spearhead of Aprilia, undoubtedly the brand that has progressed the most in recent years. Joining the Noale brand is, for him, “the best possible opportunity”. “I think I will be a lot happier next year,” he adds. “I will be a factory driver, which has always been my dream. I feel like I’m going to a team that really wants me and will give 100% for me. » Before that, the “Martinator” intends to be “very professional and finish the year in the best possible way”. Which could result in the title of world champion which escaped him last year.
