While his place in the official Ducati team was taken by Marc Marquez, Jorge Martin assured that this does not change his situation for the end of the season but assures that he is looking forward to joining Aprilia in 2025.
The game of musical chairs has panicked in MotoGP. While Marc Marquez has tipped the scales in his favor regarding a handlebar within the official Ducati team, Jorge Martin has chosen to join Aprilia from 2025. The “Martinator” will have Marco Bezzecchi as his teammate, who will replace Maverick Viñales since the latter signed for KTM to evolve at Tech3. On the eve of the first tests for the Dutch Grand Prix, in the “cathedral” of Assen, the Spanish driver confided that having already defined his future is one less weight on his shoulders in the race for the title of champion of the world.
“I am focused,” he told the press.
I finally have my mind freed, I think I can do a good job. I am confident that with this free mind, focusing on the race, it will be good for me.
We’ll see what we can do. » Engaged with Ducati until the last round of the season, Jorge Martin assures that he will “give 100%” or in any case do everything to get victory.
Martin: “I will be much happier next year”
« They told me that I will have the same equipment as until nowadded the Pramac team rider about the Ducati management. I am confident that there will be no problems and that I can fight in fair conditions against Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez.” However, the day after the Valencia Grand Prix, the Madrid native will change status. He will become the spearhead of Aprilia, undoubtedly the brand that has progressed the most in recent years. Joining the Noale brand is, for him, “the best possible opportunity.”
« I think I will be much happier next yearhe adds I will be a factory rider, which has always been my dream. I feel like I’m going to a team that really wants me and will give 100% for me. » Before that, the “Martinator” intends to be “very professional and finish the year in the best possible way”. Which could result in the title of world champion which escaped him last year.
