Pramac Racing’s Martin is only three points behind factory Ducati rider Bagnaia at the top of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings with six rounds remaining.

Ducati bosses insist they will not interfere in the scrap for glory which also involves Mooney VR46’s♊ Marco Bezzecchi.

Asked if he expected team orders, Martin told : “We will only know the day we both arrive with options, ri𒁃sking everything for one or two races.

“Yes, I trust that, with what Ducati has invested in me, they will give m𝕴e the same options as him to fight for the cham💖pionship.”

Last season then-Gresini rider Enea Bastianini was able to go wheel-to-wheel with Bagnaia who was vy🔥ing to deli🔥ver Ducati’s first MotoGP title since 2007.

But Martin reveals there were team orders for the other Ducatis: “Yes, there was. They told us that we had to𓃲 be careful, that you couldn't overtake him... 

“From veryꦰ early on in the season we were very careful with him, in the end that affected you in the races.

“This year🌳 no🌳. And even if Ducati told me something, I wouldn't listen. 

“Last year, when he no longer had any options, they tried to help him, above all we had to be careful with 𝐆him if we were going to overtake him.”

Martin said about the MotoGP cha💧mpionship fight with Bagnaia: “Anyone who gets between him and me will be good, but right now I don't see an♊yone. 

𝐆“When I'm not there to stand up to him, there is no clear candidate.”

Martin id𝓰entified the weekend that the title momentum shifted in his favour.

“By beating him in Germany I ꦚgrew and he saw it. And every we﷽ekend I've been there.”

Martin has won ꦕtwo of the past three grands prix, taking advantage of a drab patch of form for B🃏agnaia who hasn’t shone since his accident in Barcelona.

The prize for Martin, aside from the championship itself, is to sit alongside Bagna♑ia in the most prestig🎃ious bike on the current grid.

“Yes, yes, my goal is to reach the 🙈official Duc💟ati as soon as possible,” he said. 

“I am achieving results that speak for t💜hemselve💖s, I hope Ducati appreciates it.”
