Jorge Martín is in the final year of his current contract in MotoGP, not hiding his ambition to be promoted from Prima Pramac to the official Ducati team. The rider has emphasized his desire to move to Ducati, with rumors swirling that one of the places in Paolo Campinoti’s team for 2025 could go to Fermín Aldeguer.
With a firm desire to join Ducati, last year’s MotoGP runner-up highlighted that it’s still premature to talk about the market: ‘I think it’s still early, we have to wait. I think Ducati wants to understand exactly. They have already chose [Francesco] Bagnaia, for sure he deserves it. But let’s see; I think I already shown what I’m able of and I think if I start the season in this way, there’s no other chance. My priority is to go the factory seat at Ducati. If not, let’s see’.
On the other hand, Martín stated that he doesn’t dwell on the rider market: ‘The market is something I don’t control, it’s something that doesn’t depend on me. I focus on my task, which is to ride, and as for market signings, I have my agent for those things. I don’t want to get into that, and we’ll see what happens in the future’.
With that said, the Spaniard emphasized that the uncertainty about the future doesn’t affect him as a rider, as it’s a recurring situation, and he has his priorities well-defined: ‘I think it’s something we’re used to, we’re managing this situation all our lives – we have the same situation every two years, having to decide where to go, where not to go, what to do with the future. As a rider, it affects us very little. But of course, we have to know, and ultimately it’s me who makes the decision about what to do. But my priorities are clear, so I’m calm. I’ll set those priorities, and if they don’t work out, then we’ll see what to do’.
