Is Jorge Martin partnership with Aprilia on the verge of collapse? The 2024 MotoGP world champion finds himself embroiled in a storm of controversy with his new team, Aprilia Racing, as injuries and poor performance plague his 2025 season. The tension that erupted in Aragon has sparked wild speculation: will Martin walk away from Aprilia sooner than expected, or can this alliance be salvaged before it’s too late?

Trusted sources reveal mounting friction in Aprilia’s garage, with Martin unable to finish a single race this season due to injury. Meanwhile, teammate Marco Bezzecchi is gaining momentum, intensifying the internal team drama. What’s really happening behind closed doors, and what does it mean for Martin’s MotoGP future?

Jorge Martin, who joined Aprilia after a stellar season with Pramac Ducati, is enduring a nightmare start to 2025. An undisclosed injury has sidelined him from competition, including the MotoGP Aragon 2025. Reports confirm Martin has yet to complete a single race, a stark contrast to his championship-winning form last year.

Martin’s inability to deliver results has strained his relationship with Aprilia, which expected the Spaniard to challenge for the top spots immediately.

“This is a tough situation for the team,” an insider revealed, without elaborating further. Meanwhile, Marco Bezzecchi, who posted a competitive finish in Aragon, expressed his intent to capitalize on the situation, piling more pressure on Martin.

Martin’s injury remains shrouded in mystery. Aprilia has provided no official statement on the nature or severity of the Spaniard’s condition, leaving fans and analysts in the dark. His absence from races, including Aragon, has fueled speculation that his recovery is far from complete. Without a medical update, questions about his return to the track linger.

Aprilia’s apparent reluctance to disclose details about Martin’s condition has sparked frustration among fans and observers. Bezzecchi, meanwhile, seems to be earning greater trust from the team, with his improving performances. Is this a sign that Aprilia is shifting its focus from Martin to the Italian rider?

Martin’s failure to score points in 2025 has not only derailed his championship hopes but also cast doubt on his future with Aprilia. His contract with the Noale-based team includes a performance clause, allowing for renegotiation or potential termination if results fall short. Sources indicate Martin has approached Aprilia to discuss this clause, igniting rumors of a possible exit in 2026.

Amid this turmoil, Manuel Gonzalez has emerged as a potential replacement. Gonzalez is scheduled to test Aprilia’s MotoGP bike in Aragon, though the team insists this does not confirm a promotion to the premier class. Meanwhile, Ducati and Honda are reportedly monitoring Martin’s situation, fueling talk of a shock transfer.

The tension between Martin and Aprilia goes beyond performance, delving into team dynamics. Bezzecchi openly stated his motivation to excel amid the team’s

“difficult situation,” a comment that could be seen as a subtle jab at Martin. Sources suggest Aprilia is in a precarious position, balancing support for Martin while leveraging Bezzecchi’s growing form.

In the paddock, other riders have weighed in. Pecco Bagnaia urged Martin to honor his contract, while Fabio Quartararo called the situation “complex.” Marc Marquez’s remarks about Martin’s emotional decisions have added fuel to the fire. Will Martin stay with Aprilia, or is this drama headed for an early breakup?

With MotoGP Italy 2025 at Mugello as the next stop, all eyes are on Jorge Martin. Will he return to the track and silence his critics, or will his absence deepen the rift with Aprilia? Gonzalez’s test in Aragon is also under scrutiny, as its outcome could influence the team’s plans for next season.
