| JORGE MARTÍN RETURNS TO THE TRACK AFTER HIS INJURY IN MOTEGI, MARCO BEZZECCHI KEEN TO TAKE THIRD PLACE IN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP | |||
| After securing second place in the Constructors’ Championship, Aprilia Racing also celebrated its most successful MotoGP season in history at Portimão, with Marco Bezzecchi’s victory. Now, Aprilia Racing is preparing for the final round of the season at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, with Bezzecchi and Jorge Martín, who will undergo a medical check before returning to the track.
Marco Bezzecchi will be arriving in Valencia after an extraordinary weekend in Portimão where he took pole position, third place in the sprint race, and victory in the long race after total domination from flag to flag. The Italian rider is now aiming to confirm his third place in the riders standings to cap off a season of consistent growth and successes in his first year with Aprilia Racing. Jorge Martín will travel to Valencia for the Grand Prix of the Valencian Community. The Spanish rider, who has been absent since the Japanese GP due to a displaced fracture of his right collarbone sustained during the sprint race, will still need to undergo evaluation by the FIM Grand Prix World Championship Medical Team in order to receive clearance to race. The 2025 season was particularly difficult for the Spaniard due to four injuries: first in the Sepang tests, then during training, followed by an injury in the Qatar race, and lastly in the Motegi sprint race. The goal for the weekend will be to assess his physical condition after more than a month and a half of downtime. The Ricardo Tormo Circuit, named for the first Valencian to win a world championship title in the 50cc category, is an anticlockwise track characterised by tight corners alternating with short straights where low gears are often used. The track is 4 km long with five righthanders, nine lefthanders, and an 876 metre straight. |
