Jorge Martin’s Pramac contract reporte꧒dly included a clause which would have seen him promoted int🉐o the factory team if he won the championship in Valencia.

Martin would have worn red as early as Tuesday’s test, due to𒀰 the contractual clause.

But, Martin fell sh𝓀ort in his title dream which means he is now set to stay put atꦐ Pramac in 2024.

Bastianini, as a result, will not lose his🥀 place alongside the back-to-back champion Francesco Bagnaiꦐa.

"Bastiani🌃ni confirmed? Absolutely, there are no variations,” Ducati CEO Domenicali told after the Valencia MotoGP.

Bastianini was picked above Mart🎉in a year ago for a promotion into Ducati’s top team after he won thꦗe second-most amount of grands prix in 2022 with Gresini.

But his first season as a factory rider has been ruined by injury, a ಌspiral which began at the opening round in Portimao.

He did offer a reminder of his tale✃nts by winning the Malaysian MotoGP and will now have a second-chance to attack aﷺ new season on a factory bike.
