Hello members.

I have an important update for the group. I will not recap stuff but in the past Dorna took down my 25k group on FB due to "in their mind" copy-right. As they thing they own everything. Including various road racing championships and championships overseas.

I thought I was save here as the group that (i believe is own by Dorna) on here can post everything and is completely fine. But recently i got a DMCA for a GIF. I will take it, however this made me be more careful as these assholes are apparently like stalkers.

Therefore this group will be decentralized. I will not explain what that means as I dont want give them another chance of taking my hard work (that is for free btw) down. One of the main changes will be that I will step down as the Admin of this group.

This doesn't mean I will be gone. But some things will be altered to ensure the future of this group. The post will remain the same however video and GIFs will be now banned.

Other than this thank you for your ongoing support and your dedication to support me.

Jorge Martin admitted that he is now grateful to have remained with Aprilia following a remarkable French GP 2026 weekend, where he secured victory in both the sprint race and the full length race.

One year earlier at Le Mans, tensions between Jorge Martin and Aprilia management had reportedly reached a critical point. Martin’s manager informed senior Aprilia figures, including CEO Massimo Rivola, that the rider wished to leave the project after enduring repeated injuries and difficulties with the bike. However, contractual obligations ultimately prevented an early departure. A decision that now appears to have benefited both parties.

Reflecting on the events of the past year, Jorge Martin acknowledged how difficult the period had been both physically and mentally, while expressing appreciation for the support he received from Aprilia.

As Martin stated.

"It wasn't only physical, the mental side was really tough for me last season. I remember being here and telling Massimo that I wanted to leave. Because at that point, I thought it was the best option. But now I'm thankful to Massimo for retaining me.

I'm thankful for my decision to finally stop the fight and stay in Aprilia. And I'm really happy that everything is on the right direction. I am grateful for everything that happened to me, because it makes me the man I am today. It's just a part of the process of life."
