168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin 🔴has been questioned about Pramac’s future as a Ducati satellite team.

Martin has routinely insisted th♏at he will definitely leave Pramac at the end of this year - either for the official Ducati team or a different m♑anufacturer.

But simultaneously the future of Pramac as a Ducati satellite team i🍬s being nego♒tiated.

Martin✃ was asked: “What if Pramac were to change motorcycle supplier and turn to Honda?”

He replied to : "For me nothin༺g changes. The important thing is that [CEO Paolo Campinoti] is happy.”

Martin was asked about his threat to quit Ducati unless he is moved to the factory team: “At the moment the most 'accessible' official teams are Honda and Yamaha, but objectively they don't have a bike as fast as Duca🎐ti: don't you think it could ﷺbe risky?”

Martin answered: “Everything is risky... but Fabio Quartarar💮o has renewed, for example.

“It means that he has faith in the project.

“But now I just﷽ have to think about riding and doing my best, my goal remains the official Ducati."

Is Martin already talking to other teams about 2025🎉?

"No, that's what m𒁃y manager thinks about,” he said. “I'm completely focused on the track."

He added: “I 💛hope to continue with Ducati, but if it's not possible I will race for another official team.”

Mar𝔍tin was overlooked in favour of Enea Bastianini for a promotion into the factory Ducati team for 2023.

Then, on the final day of 2023, he missed out on the championship which would have reportedly come with a contractual clause to automati💙cally move him alongside Francesco Bagnaia, and replace Bastianini, this year.

"In 2022 they chose Bastianini, base🃏d on the results,” Martin said.

“Last yea🐻r there was a desire to make this choice [to promote him and replace Bastianini].

“But it wasn't possible due to a technical issue, there were contracts in🐽volved.

“Now everything is open: I know they have faith in me, but we'll see whether or not it will be total tru🐷st."
