168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin has suggested that 🐟Ducati will be nervous as he steps onto a rival bike in 2025.

Martin has already tested the Aprilia, who he will join next season, at the pos⛦tseason Barce🅠lona test.

He was effectively forced to exit Ducati when they overlooked him in favou꧑r of Marc Marquez for their 2025 official garage, alongside 🥀Pecco Bagnaia.

Ma♚rtin overcame that snu꧒b to win the MotoGP championship and could now take the #1 plate to Ducati’s Italian rivals.

“Honestly, f♌or me, the key point of the championship was not there,” he told about Ducati’s🔴 decision to ignore him for their factory team.

“Yes, obviously, for the pres🦹s, for the contractual issue, there was a mess and it was a before and after🧸 in my history with Ducati, that's clear.

“But, fo⛄r me, on a sporting level, a turning point could have been Germany, when I fell leading with a lot of adv✤antage.

♏“I think that might be the turning point for me to make the switch and say, 'So far, I'm not going to fail anymore.' That did motivate me.

“Whether they catch me or not, y🌳ou can't control it.

“In the end,🎃 I saw that I didn't have to prove anything and I gave my one hundred percent, just as I had done until that moment and I managed to take this title.”

Martin references Ducati: “Now, surely, they are biting their na𒁃ils, but, in the end, it is not with me that you have to talk about it…”

Martin insists his focus narrowed after Ducati’s big call to pick🃏 Marquez for 2025.

That decision also coincided with Martin’s team, Pramac, also opting to lea🍌ve Ducati and become a Yamaha satellite team next year.

“It made us unite more,” Martin saiဣd abouꦇt his own squad.

“Also, I took that opportunity to make the te💦am a unit, to bring them all together and tell tဣhem: 'Guys, this has happened...'

“🐼This year, in the end, I have also taken things more as an opportunity and not as a threat.

“You say to yoursel🍬f: 'Okay, it is what it is, what opportunity do we have ahead of us? Well, a satellite team of 10-12 guys can beat a fac🥂tory of 200. So let's work, no one is going to give us anything and we're going for it'.

“And, in the end, thanks to that, surely, I was able to be wo🧜rld champion.”

Martin is widely tipped to face a tough title defence in 2025 when he rides fওor the factory Aprilia team.

Aprilia did e𝕴nabl🎃e Maverick Vinales to become the only non-Ducati grand prix winner of this season.

But ove🎉rall the factory-spec Ducati is by far MotoGP’s best bike, and it will be in Bagnaia’s and Marquez’s hands next year.
