168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin has watch🎃ed Ducati sign a highlyꦚ-touted new rider - but unfortunately, it wasn’t him penning a contract.

Pramac rider Martin has made it very clear that he demands a step u🥂p to the factory Ducati team in 2025.

Instead, Ducati have prioritised tying🎶 Francesco Bagnaia to a new long-term deཧal and snapping up Moto2 talent Fermin Aldeguer.

Do these moves impact Martin’s hopes?

He replied: “I don’t know, I don’t know…

“Hopefully t🃏hey t🐲ell me that I will be on the red Ducati!

“But it’s still early.

“For me, it’s good to wait. I think I will demonstrate this season that I𒀰 deserve th🐎at place.”

Ducati spor🥂ting director Mauro Grassilli was asked if they had already decided on Bagnaia’s teammate for next year.

“Not yet,” he insisted. “We have to look around.

“There are a lot of riders [who want to] work 🐼with us.

“We will take the decision when we have time. When we are read🍬y.”

Yamaha are reportedly keeping a close eye on Martin’s future, if he finds himself wanting a factory bike away from Ducati, although their competitiv𝓰eness w🐓ould be a concern to him.

Martin has twice missed out on a fa🍰ctory Duca💟ti promotion.

At the end of 2022, Enea Bastianini pippe🌳d him to th꧒e position.

He then missed out again on the final day of 2023, when losing out of the cꦛhampionship to Bagnaia meant a contractual clause t🌄o automatically promote him was passed over.

Martin enters this weekend’s Portuguese MotoGP at Portimao having won the seaso🎉n-opening sprint race.

The signing of Aldജeguer, the teenage talent from Moto2, will see him placed𓆉 at Pramac at ‘25.

“🙈I think he deserves it, absolutely,” Martin said.

“He demonstrated lasꦰt season that he’s🐬 one of the best riders in Moto2 so he deserves this jump.

“I congratulate him for his new contract.

“He’s a good example, not only fo🏅r the other young riders, that the♓re is not only one way to arrive into MotoGP.

“He did it the toughest way.

“He’s young, still. He will do a great job.”
