Aprilia weighs team orders with MotoGP title race heating up
Aprilia is considering whether to use manufacturer orders with five MotoGP rounds remaining. The team faces a choice between prioritising Martin's championship challenge and continuing equal support for Marco Bezzecchi.
Aprilia is weighing whether to issue manufacturer orders in the closing stretch of the MotoGP season. Five rounds remain, and the title fight is tightening.
One option would put Martin’s title push first. The other would keep backing Bezzecchi on the same footing. The team is considering its approach.
The decision could shape how fans perceive fairness in the championship. Supporters of Martin and Bezzecchi may react differently if one rider receives clearer priority. A close title fight might draw more attention to MotoGP, while debates over team strategy could affect trust in the competition. Teams, riders, sponsors, and viewers could all feel some impact, though the scale would depend on the outcome and how the choice is communicated.
