Coming off a hard-fought recovery to ninth place in Czechia despite a double long-lap penalty, Martin arrives at Assen hoping to secure his second win of the season after his French MotoGP success.

Quotes
“I’m happy with the overall weekend, let’s say, because every practice I was improving a bit,” Martin said after his ninth-place finish at the 2026 Czechia MotoGP.
“But I feel we are really far away from Ducati at the moment, or from the victory. I don’t have any confidence in the front. I always feel like crashing. We lost the direction, I don’t know why.
“We have to understand well. I hope that Assen will be a better place for us, much more flow and this will help the Aprilia and my style. We need to improve, absolutely.”
