Jorge Martín has a direct contract with Ducati, but everything indicates that in 2024 he will return to compete in the Prima Pramac satellite team – with current factory equipment available. However, there are those who argue for a swap with Enea Bastianini and promotion to the official team after his performance this year, where he is fighting for the title with Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).
Óscar Haro is one of those who supports Martín’s promotion to Ducati. The former member of LCR Honda told Paddock TV that this would be the ideal move for the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, even anticipating a title fight between the Spaniard and Marc Márquez:
– If Ducati doesn’t put Martín on the red bike, I think I don’t understand anything. Next year the World Championship will be disputed by Martín and Marc Márquez. The two of them in a non-official team are risking that Ducati won’t win the World Championship again with an official bike, it would be smart to keep someone like Jorge Martín. Marc can’t choose because he has a contract with Gresini. What do they have to do? Take Jorge Martín. Put Bastianini in Pramac, because otherwise there is a very big risk, the rider to beat next year is called Jorge Martín. Putting Martín on the red bike would be the smartest move.
