Overview
- Jorge Martín invoked a performance-based exit clause following early-season injuries but Aprilia maintains his deal runs through 2026 and demands indemnification or a court order.
- Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta confirmed that MotoGP contracts remain binding unless mutually terminated or ruled otherwise by a judge.
- Institut Dexeus Quirón doctors cleared Martín only for a July 3–4 private Aprilia test and deemed him unfit for the upcoming German Grand Prix.
- Honda publicly stated it will only negotiate with Martín once Aprilia formally releases him from his contract.
- Multiple MotoGP insiders expect the conflict to be resolved through a buyout rather than a protracted legal battle in Milan.
