Jorge Martin’s move to Aprilia in 2025🦹 means he will leave behind ♌MotoGP’s best bike.

The Dꦓucati GP24 - the machinery of the two riders from the factory and Prama❀c teams - has proved to be a step ahead of even the year-old version which Marc Marquez rides.

But Ma⭕rtin will join Aprilia next year which means a major change of manufacturer.

He was questioned a🔯bout his true feelings on leaving MotoGP’s best bike to someone else.

“Or not. We ꦕdon't know that,” he replied to .

“In the end we don't know this and I want to think about this year aꦏnd go race by race.

“After [Barcelona] I will think about next year.

“I don't know what �ꦐ�I'm going to find. I don't know if it will be very good or very bad, so I'll think about it when I have to think about it.”

Marℱtin was asked if he’d ever reconsidered his decisi𓄧on to quit Ducati.

“No. Never. Not at all,” he insisted.

“I have not r𓆏econsidered that nor am I goin🍨g to reconsider it.

“In th🔯e end, th♐ere are situations in life where you have to make decisions and this was one.

2I have followed my dream 🌼and🍎 I hope to fulfil it.”

Ducati initially appeared set toꦫ reward Pramac’s Martin with their 2025 factory ride, but U-turned to select Marq🙈uez instead.

Martin - who missed out on the coveted red bike for a third time - immediately pen🍸ned a deal to become a factory Aprilia rider next year.

He was asked whether his swift choice was due to h𒁏is spite fo🙈r Ducati’s rejection.

“I don't have to say anything,” he claimed.

“Everyone who thinks what they want. I am very calm wiꦇth my decision.”

Martin could yet take the #1 plate to Ducati’s rival Ital⛄ian manufacturer.

He will be replaciꩵng his good friend Aleix Espargaro at Aprilia.

The MotoGP landscape will ♉beꩲ hugely different in 2025 when Pecco Bagnaia and Marquez form a formidable - but potentially volatile - factory Ducati line-up.

Ducati will have six ꦗriders, reduced from eight.💃 And three factory bikes, reduced from four.
