Honda ready to pay Jorge Martin’s contract penalty from Aprilia

According to Paddock-GP reports, Jorge Martin — the 2024 MotoGP world champion — has become Honda’s primary target for the upcoming season. Speculation about the Spanish rider’s transfer has intensified after he revealed his desire to leave Aprilia.

While Aprilia has chosen to remain silent on this issue, Honda is showing serious intent — including willingness to pay the contract termination compensation that should run until 2026.

Honda’s pursuit of Martin is closely tied to Alberto Puig — the Team Director who may step down from his position next season. The team leadership change could potentially fall to Francesco Guidotti, who is rumored to replace the Spanish executive.
