Jorge Martin: clear messages to Ducati after the arrival of Marc Marquez
The two Spaniards from Borgo Panigale promise sparks.
Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez will both be riding a Ducati in the 2024 MotoGP season, the former confirmed at Team Pramac and the latter as a new face at Gresini. Yet he who last season contended for the title with Pecco Bagnaia è said he is certain that the balance may also change in the coming months.
"For me è it has been a year to frame, and one that has made me overjoyed – explained Martin in an interview for 'Europa Press' -. Being in Italy I realized I could compete for the title, right from the start everyone was saying that. But I didn't understand what could happen. Now forò in Ducati they will have me in a satellite team and Marquez in another one. And I think that could pose a threat to them".
The reference è to the Ducati factory team, which already had to surrender the constructors title to Pramac customers in 2023. "This è the best team to play for a world championship,” Martin added. “That said, my main goal remains to go to the factory Ducati team. If it will not beà possible, I will evaluateò what to do. In the meantime, forò being here gives me so much motivation, also becauseé I will be able to compare myself with Marquez. Heè one of the best in history, so itè will be wonderful to see myself against him. And if he beats him; with his own bike, I will be proven one of the best of today".
