MotoGP, Kevin Schwantz: “I’m not saying that Viñales is not the right rider, but with someone like Martin, more motivated, Aprilia can fight for the title”

The announcement of Jorge Martin’s move to Aprilia for 2025 marked a turning point in the formation of the 2025 MotoGP grid. The Spaniard, who had long been tipped to join the factory Ducati team, has finally chosen to wear the colours of Aprilia, where he will team up with Marco Bezzecchi. This promising duo is already generating high expectations, and the comments of Kevin Schwantz, 500 1993cc champion, reinforce this optimistic view.

« Aprilia did a great job : Jorge Martin will be on the bike in 2025 “, said Schwantz. ” Aleix Espargaró did a good job, he developed the bike well. Maverick Viñales is doing a good job. When the bike works, he is by far the best! “According to him, the arrival of Martin could transform Aprilia as a serious contender for the world title: ” with the right driver – I’m not saying Maverick isn’t the right driver – but with someone like Martin, someone more motivated, a little faster and more willing to push the limits, at Aprilia, they can be contenders for the world championship »

However, the future ofAprilia is not without challenges, as journalist Manuel Pecino pointed out. In my opinion, Aprilia has three problems: first, it has problems especially when unforeseen things happen. The bike is fine, but when there is a variable, every time something different happens, they get angry. They don’t move forward. » This rigidity in the face of the unexpected could limit the team’s potential during races where conditions change quickly.
