Albert Valera speaks out about Jorge Martin’s controversy with Aprilia

Ahead of the Czech MotoGP 2025, manager Albert Valera addresses the controversy surrounding his career management of Jorge Martin — the Aprilia rider who has been in the spotlight.

This statement emerges following various criticisms directed at Valera’s handling of the working relationship between Martin and the Noale manufacturer. The manager previously indicated the possibility of Martin leaving Aprilia in the 2026 season, despite being under contract.

The situation intensifies with potential legal proceedings in Italian sports court. Circulating issues include:

• Alleged contract violations
• Internal team conflicts
• Speculation about transfer to Honda

“I’m doing my job and others are doing theirs,” Valera affirmed as reported by Speedweek.
