Jorge Martin's bombshell: “Open to moving” - so will Yamaha call?
Negotiations with Yamaha boss L⛄in Jarvis have reportedl🐭y already started but Martin has now confirmed his interest in swapping teams.
Martin was overlooked in favour of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini for a factory Ducati seat in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2023 MotoGP rider line-up and his contract with 💮Pramac expires at the end of t🌳his year.
“𒅌The market is moving,” he said. “When there is a possibilit💙y to move, everybody talks!
“But we are open to🌼 everything - to stay with Ducati or to move.
“We just need to wait.
“The main thing is to focus on the sไeason, to battle for wins and for the title if possible. Then afterwards we will think about movi⛄ng or not.”
Yamaha are reportedly interested in recruiting Martin to replace 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli for 2024, pairing him with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi, currently with the Mooney VR46 Racing Team♛, could then eye Martin’s place at Pramac.
But Martin could yet find himself on title-winning machinery - he and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Johann Zarco will ride the latest ꦑspec Desmosedici and are among the clan of Ducati riders that rivals are so wary🥃 of.
Three new champ🌼ions have been crowned in the past three years, and Martin’s ambition is to continue that trend.
“There are a lot of fast riders,” he said. “It will be one of Johann’s b꧟est years.
“We will focus on ourselves, trying to win races.
“The relatio🥃nship is good. Big respect. But we will try to beat each other, for sure.”
Gino Borsoi, who Martin pre🌟viously worked with in Moto3, will take over as Pramac boss. Martin said: “Gino brings experience of winning championships. We know each other.
He added: “I am super-excited to start this season.ꦕ We will be super-competitive and it will be a seaso💟n to enjoy.
“I am a much more mature rider now.✨ I try to understand every pass that I do.
“I will improve. Inju💝ries haven’t helped. 2021 I wasn’t 100% during the season, last year I felt better at the end. This year, everything will be on point to fight for everything.
“I have a good group, 🅘this is my third year at Pramac, my first time being more than two years on a team.”
