It’s no secret that Jorge Martín wants to move up to the Ducati factory team next MotoGP season. After being vice-champion last year, he continued without a place in Borgo Panigale, with the manufacturer choosing to give another year to Enea Bastianini who was heavily affected by injuries in 2023.
Currently leading the championship, the Prima Pramac rider wants to make the leap in 2025, taking the open seat alongside Francesco Bagnaia – ambitions reiterated this Thursday in a press conference:
– Well, I’m very happy where I am, but I think the natural position within the Ducati family, where I started and grew throughout my MotoGP career, I think the natural move would be to go to the factory team. I was very close in 2022, last season almost again until the last race. My goal is to get there and hopefully I can do it very soon. And if not, we’ll see what happens.
In addition to Martín, there are several other candidates and interested parties for the seat alongside Bagnaia – such as Enea Bastianini, who currently holds it, or even Marc Márquez (Gresini/Ducati).
