Jorge Martin Eyes Thailand Return Amid Contract Uncertainty

Jorge Martin, a former MotoGP champion, is aiming for a return to racing at the Thailand Grand Prix as he seeks to move past a difficult 2025 season. The Aprilia rider, whose future with the team is in limbo, missed pre-season testing due to surgeries.

The Spanish rider has not yet been cleared for the 2026 season opener, expressing a desire to regain his confidence and return to his peak performance. Despite missing vital testing sessions, Martin expressed optimism about the bike's readiness, crediting teammate Marco Bezzecchi.

Contractual uncertainties persist for Martin, whose management is considering options for 2027, including talks with Yamaha. Despite a strained relationship with Aprilia, Martin remains focused on rebuilding and attracting new opportunities.
