JORGE MARTIN SAYS HIS YAMAHA MOVE WAS QUESTIONED BEFORE, BUT HE BELIEVES IN THE SWITCH

Jorge Martin says he’s confident about his 2027 switch to Yamaha, arguing that doubts were raised when he moved to Aprilia two years earlier. He points out that his next step is from the current championship-leading manufacturer to one he describes as at the bottom of the standings, but believes the new 850cc rule era could reshuffle the order. Martin also insists the earlier criticism of the Aprilia move proved unfounded, saying, “They said going to Aprilia would be a disaster.”
