A Ducati satellite rider may win the MotoGP title this year – but, given the prestige of champion status and the number one plate, Ducati would then surely make a line-up alteration
there is still potential for Ducati to keep both Bagnaia and Martin in the factory team, regardless of who becomes the world champion. This could be achieved by expanding the team to include a third rider, as some other MotoGP teams have done in the past.To avoid any potential conflicts and to ensure a unified focus, Ducati could still prioritize Bagnaia as their main rider, with Martin in a supporting role. This would allow the factory team to retain control over the championship-winning rider and maintain their image and branding strategies.Besides, having two strong riders in the factory team could even benefit Ducati, as it would create healthy competition and push both riders to perform at their best, potentially resulting in more podium finishes and victories for the team. Overall, a lot will depend on the remaining rounds of the championship and the decisions made by Ducati management regarding their rider lineup for next season.
