The Pramac Racing rider will arrive at the Catalunya MotoGP this weekend as the closest challenger to fꦉactory Ducati rider F🍌rancesco Bagnaia, who leads the MotoGP standings.

He was heavily linked with a switch to Yamaha at the start of this ye🎃ar due to his desire to become a factory rider, but while his short-term decision is to stay with Pramac, there is still a question mark.

“For sure, it’s my dream to go into the factory team,” Martin said.♛ 

“I don’t know when it will be.

“Ducati are the only ones who can make a decision, can chan❀ge something.

“My target in 2025 is to go a ♚factory team. I think I deserve it.

“I have the potential to win also on ano🌄ther bike.

“My first [option] is Ducati. But if they don’t ඣreally apprec💙iate my work or my talent…”

Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini wil༒l continue as the factory Duc༒ati duo in 2024 but, a year later, many high-profile contracts on the current MotoGP are due to expire.

This includes the likes of Marc Marquez and Fabio 𓆏Qua🍌rtararo.

For now, Martin is benefitting from a latest-spec D🐼esmosedici, the same machinery that Bagnaia is riding to g🔯lory.

And Martin has implored Du🏅cati not to deliver team ꦑorders which could interrupt their title battle.

“[Last year] they were t♈elling me I had to be really careful with him, try to overtake him cleanly,” he said.

“I was thin💝king about this when I was on the track with him.

“But now, I am also a contender.

“I hope they tell the other riders to be careful 🃏with me!

“We have to race on the track and they have to 🍰give us the same material.

“I hope they will let us fight until the end.”
