So much drama and gossip with Martin and Aprilia but I am quite disappointed he has used the contract release clause for 2026. No other team would give him the recovery time and commitment like Aprilia.

I get he's looking after his career and future but why did the news come out so early, was it a leak or did he tell it on purpose?

I believe it when he says they just want to be open with each other but it's probably because it needed to be done before a certain date so why hide it.

It still seems to have caused a big hoo ha though doesn't it. But I'm sure he'll get a place in another team, he'll be fine.

I don't think there are many options though... it will be Honda or Pramac unless another team can drop a rider...

The whole situation is weird.

Yes, I was just thinking of Maverick's past behaviour and even Zarco. They left teams in strange circumstances, people said 'their careers are ruined' but they got new jobs. So I'm thinking Jorge will be okay and it'll all calm down. Or I'm just too optimistic! lol. I read that Toprak is going to Pramac in 2026, I don't know who he'll replace though🤔
