Jorge Martín is linked to Ducati and has identical equipment to the factory riders of the Italian manufacturer, but he will be back with the Pramac satellite team this year. And he wants this to be the last time in this situation as an independent rider.
The vice-world champion from last year reiterated to Europa Press that he wants to be an official rider next year, whether or not with Ducati: ‘My main goal is to go to Ducati, but if I can’t, I’ll have to look for other options. There are many factories that are making great strides, so we’ll see which is the best option‘.
What is certain is that in 2024 Martín will have a new opportunity to fight for the title. The task won’t be easy, as is natural. There are several candidates, starting with the reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati). Marc Márquez (Gresini/Ducati) will also try to present himself as a candidate in his new stage, and manufacturers like Aprilia or KTM aim to enter the competition.
