MARTIN BACK TO WINNING WAYS

RIDERS: Jorge Martin, Pedro Acosta BIKE: Aprilia RS-GP PHOTO: MotoGP COMMENT: It’ s been a long time coming and nobody was quite sure it would, but Jorge Martin’ s first place in the Sprint put the Spaniard back on the top step. His 2025 season was a wash after severe injuries in training. Just as he’ s coming good on the Aprilia, it looks like he’ s off to Yamaha for 2027, and with the two Aprilia factory riders first and second in the championship, this season is far from over.
