Max Biaggi has expressed optimism regarding Jorge Martín’s arrival in Aprilia, considering it as a significant step for the team. During the ‘Aprilia All Stars’ event in Misano, Biaggi highlighted the potential impact that Martín could have on the team’s performance. “I hope it’s the missing piece. We will know better next winter when he tests our bike and especially in the race, where there are many variables. We certainly have the potential to do well. Therefore, I want all the riders to take Aprilia as high as possible”commented Biaggi.
Martín’s move to Aprilia comes at a crucial time. With Aleix Espargaró nearing the end of his career and Maverick Viñales’ future still uncertain, the addition of Martín to the team is seen as a potential game-changer. Biaggi’s comments reflect a broader sentiment within Aprilia that Martín could be the catalyst needed to push the team to the top of MotoGP.
Biaggi, a six-time world champion and key figure in Aprilia’s history, understands the complexities of building a successful team. His support for Martín underlines the high expectations placed on the young driver. Martín, who has demonstrated impressive performances in MotoGP, is expected to bring fresh energy and competition to Aprilia.
During the event, Biaggi also reflected on Aprilia’s recent progress and future challenges. He underlined the importance of the winter tests to perfect the bike and integrate Martín into the team dynamic. “The winter tests will be crucial to understand how Martín adapts to the bike and how we can optimize his performance,” noted Biaggi.
Martín’s entry into Aprilia is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the team’s position in MotoGP. With Espargaró’s experience and Viñales’ skills, the addition of Martín is expected to create a complete and formidable team. Next season will be a critical period for Aprilia as they aim to translate their potential into consistent winning performances.
Biaggi’s trust in Martín is shared by many within the MotoGP community, who see this move as a crucial moment for both rider and team. As winter testing approaches, all eyes will be on how Martín integrates into Aprilia and what this new alliance can achieve on the track.
