Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola says “we won’t have any more excuses” after signing Jorge Martin.
The Italian manufacturer signed Martin last week following the Italian MotoGP at Mugello, before announcing his arrival 30 minutes after pen was put to paper.
Discussing the signing of Martin and why they opted for the Spaniard, Massimo Rivola said: “We wanted to have a top rider because Aleix is stopping his career with us and he deserved to have the best possible rider after him. Paddock whispers last season indicated that Ducati would have promoted Martin had he won the world championship, so losing him to Aprilia would hurt if Martin goes on to claim the title.
