Jorge Martin will hope his earnings explod🤪e if he is pro💞moted into Ducati’s official team.

Pramac rider Martin started this calendar year by warning Ducati he wil🃏l꧃ quit the manufacturer unless he is promoted in 2025.

Martin was overlooked in favour of Enea Bastianini for the 2024 ride then, at the final round of last season, missed out on the championship which meant missing out on an automatic promotion ﷽to wear red.

Martin may ride identical machinery to Francesco Bagnaia while riding 🍌for Pramac but the crucial difference has b﷽een pointed out.

“All he needs is the factory 𒁏bike,” Neil Hodgson said aboꦉut Martin on TNT Sports.

“He wants to be respected with a factory🐲 con🌳tract, and paid like a factory rider.

“If he signs a factory contract to be in the factory team, his salary will be four times 𝓰what he’s being paid this year. So that’s ಌwhat he wants.

“He’s an immaculateဣ sort of rider, the full package.

“He can win🧜 from the front, he’s an aggressive rider, heꦜ can do a fast lap time on his own, when needed. He doesn’t need to follow people.”

Martin leads the MotoGP standings after four rounds. He is 17 point💯s clear of reigning cha💛mpion Bagnaia.

Bagnaia’s salary 🦄has been estimated at €7m (£6m) per year, since he signed a new Ducati deal tying him to the manufacturer until the end of 2026.

But his earn⛦ings could exce🍌ed €10m (£8.5m) factoring in possible bonuses.

Mart𒉰in, as a satellite rider, is compensated by far less despite benefiting from a factory-spec bike.

Both riders, however, are po🍰cketing far less than Fabio Quartararo. The Yamaha rider reportedly now earns €12m per year after signing a new contract, making him MotoGP’s highest-earner.
