Aleix Espargaro believes Jorge Martin is the missing piece Aprilia needs to win the MotoGP title.
That privilege instead went the way of Marc Marquez, who will join the Lenovo Ducati team in 2025, while Martin will replace Aleix Espargaro who is set to retire after this season.
“So he started to talk with different brands, different manufacturers and he came to my motorhome; we talked until midnight and I just tried to convince him that Aprilia was the best option for him because I know how high the potential of Aprilia is, how good the team is and I know his talent. Asked if he expected Martin to make Aprilia title contenders, Espargaro has no doubts that will be the case.
