Marc Marquez issued a brutal challenge aimed directly at Jorge Martin’s return “THIS RACE IS MINE”. Immediately, the Aprilia boss responded.

🏍️ Marc Márquez has finally broken his silenceOn the contractual drama that surrounds Jorge Martin and Aprilia, and his comments have sent shock waves through the Paddock MotoGP. Speaking in a promotional event of Ducati in Barcelona, Márquez confirmed what many had suspected: empathy with Martin’s decision to invoke a clause and leave Aprilia early. “He will have his reasons, he will have his explanations,” said Márquez, added: “Hopefully he will recover soon and return to normal.” The statement, although measured, was interpreted by many as a subtle support of the controversial movement of Martin.

🔥 According to the reports, the main brass of Aprilia was not kindlyTo Márquez’s comments. Sources close to the team say that CEO Massimo Rivola was “furious” for what he saw as an unnecessary intrusion in internal affairs. Martin’s decision to get out of his contract a year before had already destabilized the team, and the public sympathy of Márquez only added fuel to the fire. “We expected solidarity among the corridors, without comments that undermine our structure,” said a source of April.

⚖️ Márquez also made comparisons with his own past, referring to his departure as Honda after years of injuries and victories in the championship. “My situation was completely different,” he explained, “we achieved six world titles together. It was a mutual decision.” Even so, his words hinted at a broader understanding of the pressures faced by runners when contracts collide with personal performance and well -being. His position contrasts strongly with Ducati’s teammate, Pecco Bagnaia, who insisted that riders should honor the signed agreements, regardless of circumstances.

🏁 The MotoGP Rider market is now in flow, with the departure of Martin from April to potentially opening doors in Honda and stirring speculation through the network. Márquez’s comments have not only validated Martin’s movement, but also revived debates about loyalty, contracts and autonomy of the rider. As the season intensifies, one thing is clear: Márquez’s verdict has restructured the narrative, and the fury of April can be the beginning of a much bigger storm.
