Jorge Martin is a Spanish motorcycle racer who rose to become one of MotoGP's most exciting talents and the 2024 MotoGP World Champion. Born on January 29, 1998, in Madrid, "Martinator" made his name as a fierce competitor with an aggressive, all-or-nothing riding style. He progressed through the junior categories with notable success, winning the 2018 Moto3 World Championship before moving to Moto2, where he claimed three race victories. Martin made his MotoGP debut in 2021 with the Pramac Ducati team as a satellite rider, and immediately showed his potential by taking pole position in just his second race and securing his first premier class victory at the Styrian Grand Prix, despite suffering a major injury earlier that season.
In 2024, Martin delivered a championship-winning performance that culminated in him defeating reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia in a season-long battle. Despite riding for the Pramac satellite team rather than the factory Ducati squad, Martin's consistency and speed proved decisive. His aggressive style, characterized by hard braking and fearless overtaking, combined with improved racecraft and maturity, allowed him to claim the title. Throughout his career, Martin has been closely associated with Alpinestars, the renowned Italian motorcycle gear manufacturer, who provides his racing suits, boots, and protective equipment. This partnership has been particularly prominent with Martin racing in Alpinestars' flagship products, including the recently released SR10 helmet—a cutting-edge design featuring advanced aerodynamics, superior ventilation systems, and state-of-the-art impact protection developed directly from MotoGP racing demands. Complementing this is the Supertech boot, Alpinestars' premier racing footwear that incorporates innovative ankle protection systems, reinforced toe boxes, and advanced composite materials that provide both flexibility and maximum crash protection. These products represent decades of research and development in motorsport safety technology, tested at the highest levels of competition.
