Runner-up to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia last season, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin is hoping to become a MotoGP champion in 2024, and along with it earn a promotion to the fa🌞ctory Ducati team.

Heavily linked with a switch to the Lenovo Ducati team last season, Martin u🐼ltimately missed out as the official team elected to keep Enea Bastianini, who was under contrac💎t. 

But Martin reiterated his desire to join 💖the factory team in 2025: “ꦜI am super happy [at Pramac]. I am maybe not in the best seat possible and for sure I would have signed already for the next two seasons in the factory Ducati team, but it’s not on me.

“They know what I want. That is my first target for the future but for the moment I feel super good here anღd it’s a good place to fight.”

If Martin contends for theꦺ 2024 title, or better yet goes on to win it, it’s likely the Spaniard would earn that seat 🌞alongside Bagnaia.

The expectation for Martജin is very clear, but despite his impressive performances in 2023, Martin does not want to look to the past.

“Last season was great but it’s already in the past, we are now in🐻 the present,” said Martin. “We have to w🃏ork hard. Testing was good. I feel a bit better on the new bike and I’m faster. 

“S🎃till, I think we need more laps but I was competitive straight a꧅way which is good because in other years we struggled a bit at the beginning.

“I am focus💛ed and I think I did a great job in the winter. I’m re💖ady for everything.

One thing that could stop Martin from joining the Lenovo Ducati outfit is the Italian brands star-studded line-ඣup which includes Marc Marquez, Marco Bezzecchi,༒ Fabio Di Giannantonio and Bastianini.

All four of those riders are MotoGP race winners and will💞 want to join the factory team.

But Martin is not concerned about the presence of other riders, saying: “I don’t want to ꧑speak about that.

“I think I am my own opponent for that seat. I will try to do m﷽y best and try to achieve it💜.”
