Aprilia Rider Excited for Argentina MotoGP as Jorge Martin Focuses on Recovery
The 2025 Argentinian MotoGP will return this weekend, with Marco Bezzecchi excited about participating. Jorge Martin, recovering from a wrist fracture, will not race but aims to return soon. Lorenzo Savadori is replacing Martin and is focused on improving the RS-GP25 for Martin’s eventual comeback, as confirmed by team chief Massimo Rivola.
The 2025 Argentinian MotoGP is set to take place this weekend, marking the event’s return after a hiatus since 2023. Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi expressed his excitement about racing at this venue again, stating, “I am very happy to finally return to Argentina because I really like this track and I was sorely disappointed about not going last year.” He emphasized the team’s progress and eagerness to enhance the RS-GP25 bike for the defending champion’s eventual comeback.
Despite the anticipation, Jorge Martin will not participate in the upcoming Argentina race due to an injury sustained in a crash. Having recently fractured his left wrist, Martin provided an update on his recovery; he conveyed his determination to return, saying, “I’m working hard, it’s been a difficult time, but I’m trying to be back as soon as possible.”
Aprilia’s Team Principal, Massimo Rivola, confirmed that Martin would not compete in Argentina, reinforcing that his recovery is paramount. He stated, “The fracture was quite bad. Normal people would take a lot of time but superheroes [are] like riders and Jorge will cut a lot of time [off a normal recovery timeframe].”
Lorenzo Savadori, who is substituting for Martin, remains focused on enhancing the bike’s performance, highlighting the significance of preparing the RS-GP25 for Martin’s future return. Savadori noted, “We are working in the right direction and the goal for the weekend is to continue growing the RS-GP25 more and more so that we can give Jorge the best possible bike upon his return.”
In summary, the upcoming Argentinian MotoGP marks an exciting return for the series, with Marco Bezzecchi expressing enthusiasm for the event. However, Jorge Martin’s injury prevents his participation, and Aprilia’s team is committed to ensuring he has a competitive bike ready for his return. The team is focused on continuous improvement in preparation for the reigning champion’s comeback. Overall, this highlights the resilience of both the riders and the team during this challenging situation, aiming for success in the season ahead.
