The Jorge Martin/Aprilia contract row erupted again during MotoGP’s Dutch Grand Prix weekend as first comments from Martin’s management and series promoter Carmelo Ezpeleta drove Aprilia to make clear it was ready to take Martin to court, then Aprilia gave more reason to question Martin’s logic by nearly winning the race with Marco Bezzecchi.
The Race Members’ Club’s rants suggested plenty of sympathy for Aprilia’s side, and Simon Patterson is firmly in that corner too on The Race MotoGP Podcast - but Val Khorounzhiy has a very different view.
After plenty of debate about Martin and Aprilia, Simon, Val and Matt Beer eventually manage to talk about some riders who actually participated in the Dutch GP too.
Marc and Alex Marquez’s latest (tentative?) battle, Alex’s injury and how it happened, Fabio Quartararo’s nosedive from pole to two terrible races and Brad Binder’s plight are among the other topics covered.
