Aprilia has firmly denied any negotiations with MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin regarding an early exit from his contract. This comes amidst rumors suggesting Martin's discontent following a challenging start to the season, marked by injuries.
Martin, who joined Aprilia on a two-year deal, has been unable to score any points due to unfortunate crashes and resulting injuries, sparking speculation about his future with the team. However, Aprilia insists that the contract, valid until 2026, will be respected both by Martin and the team.
