On 31 August 2023, during the 6th stage of the 2023 Vuelta a España, he was part of a large breakaway that went all the way to the finish in the Astrophysical Observatory of Javalambre. He came second in the stage behind Sepp Kuss (Team Jumbo–Visma), but enough to take the red jersey by 8 seconds ahead of Kuss. He became the youngest leader ever in the history of the Vuelta. He also became the second youngest cyclist to wear a leader's jersey in a Grand Tour since 1904, at 20 years and 51 days, behind Henri Cornet's 19 years and 344 days in the 1904 Tour de France.

Martinez opened the 2024 season with a win at the Classic Var. He then competed at the O Gran Camiño, where he finished second overall to Jonas Vingegaard. At the end of February, he won the Trofeo Laigueglia with a 9 kilometer solo. At the 2024 Volta a Catalunya he won the young rider classification and finished seventh overall.

Martinez moved to Team Bahrain for the 2025 season. He rode in the Tour de France, where he wore the polka dot jersey for a few days, but was docked points for cheating for repeatedly getting help from the team car to help push him up a difficult climb.
