Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola, who has spent much of 2025 dealing with MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin's injuries, suffered a fracture of his own after crashing during Aprili🍃a's All Stars event at Misano.

Rivola high♓sided at Turn 3 while participating in the Moto Guzzi race. After being examin🎃ed at the medical centre, a fracture to the finger on his right hand was confirmed.

He joked to Sky Italia 🅷afterwards: "To understand an injured rider, you have to... get injureꦆd!"

Fortunately for Aprilia, Martin's ♔return to two wheels at the same event passed without i🦄ncident.

However, Martin remains locked in a contractual stalemate with Aprilia regarding a pe🀅rformance-related exit clause he wants extended due to his injury absence.

Aprilia m🦂eanwhile, insist: “The contract between Aprilia Racing and Jorge Martín is valid ♊and in effect, and as such, it must be respected by both parties until its expiration (end of 2026).”

Previously, Martin declared: "I have decided to exercise my right to release myself for the 2026 season," but added he was open🤡 to negotiation:

"I have always been open to dialogue with Apri𝐆lia to extend this period to a certain number of Grands Prix after my return to competition. 

"The aim is that both parties can give each other a 🌱second chance and feel comfortable before making a decision for 2026."

Could the warm reception Martin received at Misano - his first public appearance since his latest Qatar injurie🌠s - help find a compromise?

"Surely being with all these fans, feeling their warmth, moves the discussion to a different level. I'm always optimistic," Rivola told GPone.com.

Martin made no further comment on his Aprilia future but confirmed he intends to participate 168澳洲﷽幸运5官方开奖结果历史:in a MotoGP test before the summer break.
