Ducati: Jorge Martin in the official team on one condition
Rumors are multiplying about the landing of Jorge Martin in the official Ducati team, alongside Pecco Bagnaia. According to a report in La Repubblica, the Borgo Panigale factory is really considering the possibility of flanking Martin and Pecco already in 2024, and would be ready to give the green light in case the Iberian rider wins the World Championship precisely at the expense of the Piedmontese centaur.
If it verifiesà this eventuality, Ducati will have toà pay a very steep penalty present in the contract of Enea Bastianini.
The Rimini rider "would demote" thusì in the Pramac team, but he would still have a Ducati Gp24, unlike the VR46 team and the Marquez brothers in the Gresini team.
Bastianini's agent, Carlo Pernat, in Repubblica commented on the hypothesis as follows: "There’è no logic. Enea è a great champion and he has already proved it, in Ducati they know it well, the fall in the debut race made him throw away a championship where he would have surely been protagonist. And then there’è a contract: to repudiate it would cost a lot of money".
