168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin ꧟will reportedly hav𒀰e the option to go to Yamaha next year.

As it stands, moving from Pramac Ducati to the struggling Japanese brand would mean swapping MotoGP’s best bike for one of its worst.

But much can change in a year and, ac𝓡cording to , Yamaha are keep🃏ing an eye on Martin’s situation.

The 2023 MotoGP runner-up missed out twice on a promotion toꦡ the factory Ducati team and has made it clear that, unless hꦰe wears red in 2025, he will quit the sport’s dominant manufacturer.

“In Iwata th❀ey are preparing the budget” to tempt Martin across to Yamaha, the report states.

But Martin is “mainly interested in the bike” so Yamaha face extra pressure to imp🌸ro൩ve the M1.

Moving 🌃from a Ducati satellite team to a factory squad would result in a pay rise, as Luca Marini is reportedly enjoying since swapping VR46 for Honda.

The other side of the coiꦫn is that Martin would likely find himsel🐠f on a less competitive bike next season.

But if he is intent on leaving Ducati to pursue a factory position, whe🥃re else makes sense?

✅Even KTM and Aprilia, despite outperforming Yamaha and Honda, lag behind the year-𒉰old Ducati bikes (except in the case of Brad Binder in Qatar).

Ducati ha🧸ve confirmed the arrival of Fermin Aldeguer in 2025 and, although tജhey haven't confirmed which team he will be placed in, the likely landing spot is Pramac.

That means either Martin or teammate Franco Morb🅠idelli is out of a seat next year.

Aldeguer's arrival into the mix at Ducati has increased the stakes and perhaps incentivised other manuf☂acturers to tempt away riders with knowledge o🐬f the Desmosedici.

Yamaha know that they face a battle to keep the𓆉ir own star rider, Fabio Quartararo. Aprilia are believed to have an interest in🥂 him.

Should they lose Quartararo, it would ಌfree up budget to land another big name like Martin.

Yamaha could even have an extra two seats in 2025 if they agree terms to take over the VR46 satelli🐼te team.

VR46 (who currently have Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio as their riders) are in talks to stay at Ducati but still haven’t signed, and V♛alentino Rossi maintains obvious links to Yamaha.
