When it became apparent that MotoGP championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin would not be chosen ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez for the factory Ducati s༒eat in 2025, Aprilia acted very quickly.

The Italian manufacturer signed Martin last week following ꦦthe Italian MotoGP at Mugello, before announcing his arrival 30 minutes after pen was put to paper.

Martin, who had always des🅠ired the factory Ducati seat alongside Francesco Bagnaia, now has hush wish of being a full factory rider, but with Aprilia who have become the closest competitorsꩲ to Ducati of late.

Discussing the signing of Martin and why they opted for the Spaniard, Massimo Rivola said: “We wanted to have a top rider because Aleix [Espargaro] is stopping his career with us aꦏnd he deserved to have the best possible rider after him.

“He actually helped us in bringing Jorge here. I think Jorge fought for the title last year, he will fight for it this year and we want to fight next year but with our bikℱe.

“Let’s see if we can do the super coupl🔜e with Maverick [Vinales]. But we are happy and motivated.”

Martin, who leads the world championship by 18 points, could becom♎e world champion in his final year with Pramac Duca♎ti, which would mean bringing the #1 plate across to Aprilia.

Paddock whispers last season indicated that Ducati would have prꦇomoted Martin had he won the world championship, so🎃 losing him to Aprilia would hurt if Martin goes on to claim the title.

Whether he wins thꦓe title or not, signing Martin was a huge statement ꧅by Aprilia and Rivola says there is nowhere to hide in 2025 and beyond.

“It’s a big excitement,” revealed the Aprilia Racing CEO. “The message for the company is that we won’t have any more excuses and this is why it is important to have another rider like Maverick, who for the moment꧒ is the reference for us.

“Let’s see how everythin🍌g will go but super h🌃appy about it obviously.”
