Ducati CEO delivers final verdict on Enea Bastianini vs Jorge Martin for factory seat

Jorge Martin’s Pramac contract reportedly included a clause which would have seen him promoted in👍t๊o the factory team if he won the championship in Valencia.
Martin would have worn red as early as Tuesday’sꦕ test, due to the contractual clause.
But, Martin fell short in his title dream which means h♐e is now set to stay put at 🌼Pramac in 2024.
Bastianini, as a result, will not🍎 lose his place alongside the back-to-ܫback champion Francesco Bagnaia.
"Basti🗹anini confirmed? Absolutely, there ওare no variations,” Ducati CEO Domenicali told after the Valencia MotoGP.
Bastia💛nini was 🦩picked above Martin a year ago for a promotion into Ducati’s top team after he won the second-most amount of grands prix in 2022 with Gresini.
But his 𒊎first season as a factory rider has been ruined by injury, a spiral which began at the opening round in Portimao.
He did offer a reminder of his talents by winning the Malaysi꧂an MotoGP and will now have a second-chance to attack a new season on a factory bike.
