The contract between Aprilia Racing and Jorge Martín is valid and in effect, and as such, it must be respected by both parties until its expiration (end of 2026). Aprilia Racing has honoured it in full, within the agreed-upon timelines and terms, and will continue to do so in the future.

Aprilia Racing denies that any negotiations have taken place between the parties to modify the duration of the contract, which remains as originally agreed upon. The team has no comment on matters that do not directly concern it but expects other teams to refrain from making any kind of offer to riders who are under contract. Such behaviour would, in any case, not be legitimate.

The entire Team will continue to support Jorge throughout his recovery process, as it always has, and looks forward to seeing him back on track with the RS-GP.

I would like to send Jorge the message that we have a bike with which he too can win. The factory is working hard. Our message is that the bike is ready to win. We want to win with Jorge and we are waiting for him with open arms.

When a rider has so much bad luck… for so long… he’s in a condition that none of us are in a position to understand well. We have to have the utmost respect for his situation; we will do everything we can to make him see that this is the place he has to be.
