The Pramac Racing rider can exercise the clause from July, if he receives an𒉰 offer from an official team, according to .

And Martin is the “first candidate” that Yamaha’s managing director Lin J♍arvis will look to for 2024.

Franco Morbidelli’s Yamaha seat for next season is comi🎃ng under increasing pressure despite being named as Jarvis’ No1 option several weeks ago.

Yamaha gave WorldSBK rider Toprak Razgatlıoglu a test on their MotoGPꦕ bike, but it is reportedly now Martin who they would like to tempt across.

Last year, Martin was overlook💟ed in favour of Enea Bastian♎ini for a set up from Ducati’s satellite teams to its factory squad.

He is still contracted at Ducati for 2024 - ꦛalbeit with a clause which could result in his exit to another factory team.

But Martin has doubts about going to Yamaha

The Spanish rider has profited from the Desꦬmosedici, the best machinery on the 2023 grid, this season. He won the sprint race at the Frenc🐼h MotoGP and sits fourth in the MotoGP standings, only 14 points behind championship-leader Francesco Bagnaia.

Yamaha,🧸 however, “continuesꦚ not to keep its promises by the engineers”, the report states.

This is a “technical impasse” which leaves Martin doubting whether to activ🔯ate his contrಌactual clause and go to Yamaha.

Martin implied at Le Mans that would still be a Pramac rider next season, saying: “It will be next year at this stage [that we will look for a sea🐈t]… I'm not in a hurry.”

The knock-on effect is whethe🧸r Yamaha keep faith in Morbidelli or look elsewhere for a replacement.

Ducati’s position is very simple.

“We don't know about next year but at the moment he's 💖on a winning bike and I think he'd like to stay because he likes to win,” sporting director Paolo Ciabatti said.
