Jorge Martin’s decision to leave Aprilia after just one race weekend shocked the paddock, particularly due to the speed of his choice. Although the Aprilia RS-GP25 has struggled competitively compared to Ducati’s offerings, the abruptness of Martin’s exit raised eyebrows given his limited experience with the bike, stemming from an injury he sustained on the first day of pre-season testing. His recovery impacted his time on the track, making the decision to part ways with Aprilia both surprising and controversial.
