Ducati claim Jorge Martin isn’t “planning” to quit via contractual clause

Pramac Racing rider Martin has a potential exit route due 🎀to a clause in his Ducati deal which allows him to accept an offer from another factory team.
But that doesn’t mean that Martin wants to 🍸use it.
“First of all, I don’t💟 think he wants to move,” Ducati sporting director Ciabatti told BT Sport. “Jorge has a contract for n🥀ext year.
“He has a clause in his contract where he can receive an offer from a factory team. We can match it, or we can ✨let him go.
“It’s as simple as that.
“I don’t think he’s planning to do that.
“He’s enjoying it more and more.
“His target is📖 to be world champion and, with Du🦩cati, he can do it.”

Martin was heavily linked with Yamaha at the start of 2023 but, as the Japanese manufacturer’s struggles have con💯tinued, he has distanced himself.
Martin c🃏urrently sits third in the MotoGP standings behind fellow Ducati riders Francesco Bagnaia and Marco Bezzecchi.
However, his Pramac teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco is in a less envious position.
“Everybody knows he’s on a one-year contract,” Ciab🍃atti said. “If he keeps doing what he’s doing…
“Pramac is very happy. The team works well. Heไ’s getting faster and faster ℱwhich we expect from him.
“Hopefওully he gets♔ his first win which gives extra confidence for every rider.
“He did a fantastic race today and we hope 🐼he kee🙈ps this momentum in the next races.”
