Big score in Noale
The bombshell news that unleashes dominoes in the MotoGP market arrives at 6pm on a Monday which for the top class was one of testing (ruined by bad weather) and ‘unloading’ after the Italian GP weekend. After the rumors that emerged during the day certifying the Ducati’s turn in the direction of Marc MarquezJorge Martin wasted no time and followed up on his promises: he had declared that he would remain in Ducati only with the official team and when this opportunity vanished he decided to accept the court of Aprilia.
The signed contract is multi-year, a sign of a shared and ambitious project, blessed by Martin’s best friend and outgoing Aprilia rider: Aleix Espargarò. On the sidelines of the official press release released by Aprilia, the words of Massimo Rivola, the soul of the reborn Aprilia of recent seasons and the main supporter of the Martin operation, could not be missing.
Rivola’s ambition
“An unstoppable growth path – declared Rivola – Jorge is a piece to reach the goal that we are all eagerly seeking in Aprilia Racing. Thanks to Doctor Michele Colaninno for this opportunity, we spoke last night and without wasting time we decided”.
The explicit reference to yesterday evening confirms how the whole operation only came to fruition in the excited days of Mugello, also thanks to Marquez’s clear rejection of the Pramac hypothesis, which derailed Ducati’s original plan. The ambition, however, is very clear: to finally win what would be a historic MotoGP world title.
