Jorge Martin had option to land factory Ducati 2024 seat if he won championship
But Martin failed to usurp Francesco Bagnaia at the 🍌top of the standings at the final round, after crashing out early in Valencia.
That cost him the t🐠itle and po♔ssibly a promotion too.
His contract included a clause which allowed him to possibly ꦯbe prom𓄧oted if he became MotoGP champion, reported.
Martin would have worn💫 🔯red as soon as Tuesday’s postseason test, if the Valencia MotoGP went his way.
Last year, Martin was overlooked ✱for the fac🌌tory seat in favour of Enea Bastianini.
Although Bastianini won his first gra♛nd prix for the factory team in Malaysia, his year has bee🥃n ruined by injury.
And Bastianini’s contract stipulates that ๊only this season was guaranteed on a factory bike.
