The Spanish rider Jorge Martín, from the Aprilia Racing Team, has shared a notable evolution in his way of viewing competition in MotoGP, leaving behind the obsession to win races. This season, Martín has shown himself to be one of the main contenders for the title, after overcoming a difficult phase in 2025.
During the last British Grand Prix, Martín achieved pole position and finished first and second in the two races, extending his lead in the standings to 31 points. Despite this success, the rider has stated that he does not want to get carried away by triumph, acknowledging that the pressure of always being at the forefront affects his concentration.
Martín has commented that now his priority is to improve as an athlete and as a person, without excessively worrying about the final position in each race. ‘Two years ago, I was obsessed with always being in first place, but that drained a lot of energy from me. Now I focus on improving and fighting for the title at the right moment,’ he explained.
After a difficult period at the beginning of the season, the competition at Silverstone marked a turning point for the rider, who has returned to the bike configuration that allowed him a standout victory at the French Grand Prix in May. Martín feels optimistic, as the upcoming races look favorable for his riding style.
‘The most important thing is that we have regained speed, beyond points or results. I prefer to compete for victory, even making mistakes, than to finish in sixth place week after week,’ Martín stated, looking forward to the upcoming competitions with a renewed attitude.
