Aprilia has announced that current MotoGP points leader Jorge Martin has signed a multi-year agreement to leave Pramac Ducati and join the Aprilia Factory MotoGP squad next year.
It is now expected that Ducati will announce Marc Marquez as the Factory teammate of Pecco Bagnaia beginning next year. Enea Bastianini is rumored to leave Ducati for a position on the GASGAS team in 2025. Pedro Acosta will leave GASGAS and join the Factory KTM team next year as teammate to Brad Binder.
With Yamaha desperate to have a two-rider satellite team next year, it is now speculated that Gresini Racing may abandon Ducati and run Yamahas in 2025.
Of course, aside from the official announcement regarding Jorge Martin and Aprilia, as well as confirmation from KTM regarding Pedro Acosta, the rest remains speculation at this point and subject to official confirmation, which MD will publish at the appropriate time.
Here is a brief press release from Aprilia regarding the signing of Jorge Martin:
It could only be Jorge Martín the ideal rider to ensure continuity after the announcement of Aleix Espargaró’s retirement, who has always been Martín’s friend and mentor. Martín has signed a multi-year contract with Aprilia Racing starting in 2025, and the Team and the entire Piaggio Group welcome a rider who best represents the desire to establish himself at the top of MotoGP.
MASSIMO RIVOLA
“A path of unstoppable growth, Jorge is a building block to reach the goal we are all looking for with great hunger at Aprilia Racing. Thanks to Dr. Michele Colaninno for this opportunity, we spoke last night and without wasting any time we made the decision.”
