Missing out on last season’s MotoGP championship to Francesco Bagnaia als𓂃o meant that Martin missed a promotion to Ducati’s factory team for this year.

He will vie for the title as a Pramac rider again but has already warned Ducܫati that he will seek pastures new unless his w🦄ish to join the top team is met.

He was asked if he’d follow Luܫca ꦑMarini by joining Repsol Honda in 2025.

“My position is different from Mar♑𝓡ini's,” Martin told . 

“Because I am winning and he is stagnant.

“But If I see that the Honda improves a little, or that in the long term it can be ✨a winning project, it would be a good option. 

“But right now with Ducati I can enjoy it more.”

Martin made it clear that his No1 goal is🔴 to wear red.

“My one hundred percent priority for 2025ꦚ is an official team,” he said. 

“My goal is the official Ducati team, because it is the factory I am with, I know the bike and I have a lot of projection in🅘 this factory. 

“B🎃ut if they don't want me or understand that I am not the best, I will look for something else."

Martin’s contract reportedly included a clause stating that, if he won the 2🍌023 title, he would be automatically promoted to the fac❀tory team.

He would have been in place as early as the postseason Valencia test, if he overcame Bagnaia i🦋n the title battle.

“In Valencia🌺 I had two black jumpsuits ready in case I had to do the test in a different box,” Martin admitted.

“I wanted to join the official team and I pressed my manager to hℱave the option.

“But I don't think it changes anything if I won the championship or not.🤪 If Pecco crashes in Valencia and I win the ra☂ce, then yes? What sense does that have? 

“I ꧒resent the fact that it's never enough. I don't know what I have to do 🌌to prove more.”

Bastianini was picked above Martin at the end of 2022 for a promotion, but his debut year as a 🦂factory rider was ravaged by a💛n injury nightmare which started in the first sprint race.

“The difference between being on the official team compareౠd to the satellite is that there are more personnel working,” Martin explained. 

“I prefer the atmosphere of my team, because♛ it is a group and more familiar. 

“So I would try to change that, because they are too serious, but working sꦛeriously when it has to be done, of course. 

“The difference is that they have more people, but at the level of [parts for the bike] I think there is no diff🦋erence.”
