In 2024, Jorge Martin made history by securing the championship and becoming the first Independent rider to do so, while also denying Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia a third consecutive title. However, with a bold move to Aprilia for 2025, one key question remains: will Martin carry the iconic #1 plate, a symbol of being the champion?

The #1 plate is a rare badge worn by legends like Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, and others, representing dominance and immense pressure. While some champions like Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi chose to keep their iconic numbers, Martin's decision will set the tone for his future with Aprilia.

This eagerly anticipated choice will be revealed during the Aprilia Racing team presentation on January 16th, 2025, streamed live. Will Martin embrace the responsibility of the #1 plate, or will he stick with his iconic #89? Stay tuned for this exciting announcement.
