A Press Conference speaks to something to announce, and announce Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) did: the returning #1 has confirmed he’s staying with Aprilia Racing in 2026. After previously making a statement on social media that he was invoking a clause to leave at the end of the season – and Aprilia making their own statement that he was contracted to them for 2026 – the rumours now have a concrete answer: he’s staying.

Once in the spotlight, he cut to the chase: “I’m really happy to be here again. It was a really difficult six or seven months suffering a lot with a lot of injuries but I’m happy to be here and to be back in MotoGP. Finally, I’m happy to say that I’ll continue with Aprilia for 2026.”

Watch the full Press Conference below, as well as Martin’s standalone interview from Thursday in Brno.
