Ducati continues to disagree with Aprilia's rule change proposal that would allow Jorge Martin to test the RS-GP.

Marc Marquez believes that a change to the rules regarding testing for injured riders could be a good idea.

However, he does not believe that the rule should be implemented in the middle of the 2025 season and that it should come into effect at a later date.

After crashing on the opening day of the Sepang Test the reigning MotoGP World Champion, Jorge Martin, sustained multiple fractures. These injuries saw the Spaniard miss all of the pre-season test and a second crash whilst training has sidelined him for the start of the season.

Martin has switched from Ducati to Aprilia for the 2025 season and having only completed 90 laps on his new machine Aprilia has lodged an official request to allow Martin to have a private test on the RS-GP before he returns to racing.

There has been support for the proposed rule change, but Ducati has stated that it does not agree with the rule being changed this season.

The Italian manufacturer's words are now being echoed by the 2025 MotoGP World Championship leader, Marc Marquez.

Marquez has previously dealt with several injury issues, and never got the chance to test before his return.

"It can be a good rule, but for the future," he is reported by GPOne as saying on the matter.

"At the moment the regulation is not like that. When I came back from my injury [in 2021] this rule was not there.

"You could introduce a rule to allow a rider who is out of competition for two months to do one day of testing - not more, because two days would already be too much.

"One day of testing is enough to get the rhythm with the bike.

"You could put a minimum time [in place], but the teams have to decide. For the riders it’s important, but in the end when you go two months without riding a MotoGP bike, one more or less day of testing doesn’t change much.

"You need time to get you rhythm back."
