Where Martin's awful new injury leaves Aprilia [ad-free video]
Added 2025-04-21 09:25:08 +0000 UTCReigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin was back in action for exactly one round before getting badly hurt again - and his first season with Aprilia is now officially irreparably compromised.
It's left him facing another long road to recovery, and Aprilia facing another long wait to see just how good its bike truly is.
But what can we already say about the 2025 RS-GP? And did Aprilia make a mistake in not prioritising line-up continuity from last year? Simon and Val debate all that in our latest MotoGP video.

I thought a bit harsh on Bez. If you look at two 6th places is not so bad when your looking at the top 3 places almost certainly locked out with 4th being a floating Ducati it would realistically give him 5th as his and everybody else's top slot. As a team and Martin - its prbably the worst season start possible

2025-04-22 16:55:18 +0000 UTCGood points well made. Aprilia base settings and 2025 bike can't be too far of the mark. As you pointed out, Ai Ogura is proving that. Its The fact that Fernandez is suffering with very low confidence and Bezz is struggling to adapt, which is blurring the picture for Aprilia. All the best to Martin.. stay strong!

2025-04-21 22:30:09 +0000 UTCIt is very cruel for Martin. He has no chance to defend his title no prove himself at Aprillia. And it sucks for the team too. Hope he takes the time he will need to fully recover

2025-04-21 12:05:06 +0000 UTCSuch an unfortunate start to the season. Martin's mental strength will be tested as much as his physical strength. And with the Rivola rumours, the whole project must be so unsettled at present.
