Martin Shatters Mugello MotoGP Record!
Italian rider Jorge Martin showcased an incredible performance during a training session at the Mugello circuit this morning, cementing his name in MotoGP history. In the initial minutes of the morning practice session, his speed of 368.6 km/s surpassed the record set by Brad Binder in May 2023 on the same track, which was 366.1 km/s. This is considered a turning point in motorcycle sport.
Speed's Victory at Mugello
Martin’s incredible speed displayed in the opening minutes of the session clearly demonstrated Aprilia’s dominance on the straights. However, this wasn't the only standout. Racing for Trackhouse Aprilia, Japanese rider Ai Ogura also achieved a speed of 366.1 km/s during the morning practice, managing to break the record. Ogura’s performance fully showcased Aprilia’s potential at the Mugello circuit.
Aprilia Technical Director Fabiano Sterlacchini, following this historic achievement, stated, “This was definitely one of the targets we were aiming for. Achieving the highest speed in MotoGP history is exciting, and everyone in the team has a share in this success.” Sterlacchini added that the record was the result of the combined work of the engine, aerodynamics, and electronic systems. He also noted that it’s possible to gain approximately 2 km/s faster by utilizing the air corridor when a motorcycle is ahead in the race.
The Peak of the 1000cc Era
It is expected that Martin’s broken record will remain valid for many years to come. Because Mugello is hosting the final Italian Grand Prix with MotoGP’s current 1000 cc motorcycles, it is the last race in this era. Starting in the 2027 season, 850 cc will be the championship format. Therefore, the new speed record broken at Mugello will be one of the peaks of the MotoGP 1000 cc era, representing a success that pushes the boundaries of motor sports and pilots.
