Martin will again be a firm favourite to fight for the title in 2024, and should he mount a title challenge, he will🎉 have an🥀other opportunity of achieving that feat. 

The Pramac rider, who wa🍎s part of a DAZN documentary about his career last season, spoke very highly of Ducati for providing him with the opportunity to fight for the 🌠title, even after choosing Enea Bastianini over him for the factory seat.

“The only way to make history is going to be by winning a world title in a satellite team,” Martin. “Now I have that opportunity and Ducati has also given it to me, both for giving me an official motorcycle and for having l🐎eft me in this team in which I am happy and c🐎ontent. 

“I always think that on the official motorcycle you have something extra. “I am showing 💛that it can be done, so I will fight it until the end꧒.”

Looking ahead to this season, Martin will have even stiffer competition as Marc Marqu♌ez has joined Dꩲucati as a satellite rider with Gresini.

But with his talent, experience aboard the Ducati and having gone through the pr🌸essures of a title fight, Martin is hopꦺing he can prepare even better for an assault on Bagnaia’s crown after promising his Pramac team the title in 2024.

Martin added: “Not many people can say that they have fought for a world title until Valenc🔴ia, we have doဣne it as a satellite team. 

“I think I'm in the best p🐷lace to win the world title next year. I hope to prepare better, because I have already promised my team that we are going to be world champions, I have no other choice.”
