Overview

• At Le Mans, Martín informed Aprilia team members he plans to depart at season’s end by using a clause tied to his championship standing.
• The contract permits him to exit if he is not contesting top positions after six races and Martín says that condition applies due to his results.
• He has only raced in Qatar this season after crashes in Dubai and Lusail sidelined him for the opening rounds.
• Martín affirmed on Instagram that he has not breached his agreement and views the clause as crucial for determining his 2026 future.
• Aprilia maintains the provision is void because his injury-related absences prevented him from completing the required evaluation period.
