Jorge Martin Understands Ducati’s Potential Interest in Marc Marquez
In the competitive arena of MotoGP, the battles are not only limited to the tracks but also behind the scenes, where the negotiations for places in the factory teams are as fierce as the races themselves. Current championship leader Jorge Martin has shown a remarkable understanding of Ducati’s potential interest in Marc Marquez for his factory team in 2025.
In a recent interview, Martin acknowledged the impact Marquez could have on the Italian manufacturer in terms of marketing. With eight world titles under his belt, Marquez is a towering figure in the world of motor racing, and his presence at Ducati is sure to attract considerable attention from the media and fans alike.
However, despite acknowledging Marquez’s strength in terms of marketing, Martin remains focused on his ambitions and options. He expressed confidence in his abilities and highlighted his position as the current championship leader. Martin also made it clear that if he fails to secure a place on Ducati’s factory team for the third consecutive year, he will be willing to explore other options, including teams with winning designs such as Aprilia and KTM.
Martini’s quest for a promotion to the Ducati factory team began in 2022, when he was passed over in favor of Enea Bastianini. Since then, he has faced setbacks, including the failure to activate a contract clause that would have guaranteed him a place in the team in the event of an outstanding performance. However, Martin remains resilient and determined to achieve his goals in MotoGP.
Ducati’s decision on the factory team for 2025 will be based not only on the results of 2024 but also on the history and reputation of the potential riders. In this sense, Marquez, with his impressive career and six MotoGP titles, emerges as a strong candidate. However, Martin is determined to fight for his country and is prepared to make tough decisions if his expectations are not met.
Jorge Martini’s future in MotoGP remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: his determination and impressive skills make him an outstanding competitor, regardless of the team he represents. Whether at Ducati or elsewhere, Martin will continue to seek success and aim for victories on the race track in his journey into the world of motor racing.
