Jorge Martin’s motivation is partly to prove th⛎at Ducati were wrong to overlook him for their factory ride.

Martin appeared to be a shoo-in to earn a promotion into the 2025 official Ducati garage until Marc Marquez warned that he🦩♍ would not go to Pramac.

Ducꦐati ultimately plumped for Marquez, and Martin has signed for Aprilia next se❀ason.

“He looks [like he has] a strong personality but he’s a sweet 𒀰guy, ꦬa very nice guy,” Pramac owner Paolo Campinoti told TNT Sports.

“He’s a very good person, very comm🐻itted and 🌠motivated to show that Ducati made the wrong choice to bring Marc in!”

Mar♛tin could yet take the #1 plate away ꧑from Ducati and to their rivals Aprilia next year.

He currently leads the MotoGP championship - only seven points ahead of 🐼Pecco Bagnaia, and 53 ah𒉰ead of Marquez.

Martin’s victory at last week🍎’s sprint race in Misa🙈no has laid down a marker ahead of next weekend’s return to the same circuit.

“It was very important,” Campinoti admitted. “Jorge was always in front but hadn’t been a𒆙ble to win in the last rꦰaces.

“For his confidence, he was able to show h🌄imsel🐷f and everybody that he’s still there.”

The significance was to de🎐liver a blow to Bagnaia.

“It’s at Pecco’s home - he pretty much lives here, he knows t𝄹he track so well, he’s so fast here, he had great race pace, started on pole, and was the clear favourite,” TNT Sports’ Nei📖l Hodgson analysed.

“For all♐ the tracks to nick a win of him,🧔 [Martin] did it here.

“He destroyed him. He got into the lead straight away then controlled it. It was a boring racꦓe because Martin was so perfect.

“I watched someone ridin𓆏g and braking so deep into the corners. It was a world champion’s race.”
