Aprilia's Test Rider believes the 2025 Aprilia RS-GP will be closer to Jorge Martin's demands.

Lorenzo Savadori says the Aprilia Jorge Martin will return to when he makes his MotoGP return has been developed “closer to his demands” since he last rode it.

Martin has only completed 90 laps on the RS-GP since last November’s post-season test in Barcelona.

On the 2025 RS-GP, Martin managed just 13 laps on day one of the Sepang Test before a crash left him with multiple fractures and forced him to miss the remainder of pre-season.

Further injury before the Thai Grand Prix sidelined him for the Thai and Argentine Grand Prix. However, he passed a medical check on Wednesday, which puts him on course to make his long-awaited Aprilia debut at next week’s Qatar GP.

Martin made his first appearance at a Grand Prix weekend in America. Savadori, who has been replacing Martin since Thailand, says this experience will have been good for the Spaniard to understand where the bike has changed since he last rode it.

"Different than the one he tried in Barcelona and Malaysia, but developing and closer to his demands," Savadori is reported by GPOne as saying when asked about the bike Martin will return to.

"On Saturday, we updated him and, with the engineers, showed him the telemetry, so he knows everything.

"Will it have been useful to spend a weekend in the pit? Actually, as a rider seeing others race, it hurts like hell, but it was good for everyone."

Under the current concession regulations, Savadori is able to make up to six wildcard appearances this season. But he admits he isn’t sure what his racing plans will be with Aprilia going forward.

"I don’t know," he said about the prospect of wildcards.

"The team and the constructor know how much I love racing, but I still enjoyed working with the Spanish team and with Daniele Romagnoli, who I knew only by sight and whom I got on with very well.

"Even though I was injured in Argentina, it was a crescendo."
