Jorge Martin Sets 2026 Title Target With Aprilia After Injury-Hit Season

Aprilia signals a measured restart to rebuild his confidence.

Overview

At the Milan launch, Martin said he was hired to win the championship and vowed to fight for it.
He cautioned that he needs time to adapt to the RS-GP to avoid repeat crashes and to reach full fitness.
Martin believes he can match Marco Bezzecchi’s 2025 benchmark after the Italian’s three wins and third overall.
His 2025 campaign featured four injuries, four surgeries and just four race finishes from 22 grands prix.
CEO Massimo Rivola said the team must properly begin its program with Martin and allow him time to regain fitness and confidence, as questions remain over closing the gap to Ducati.
