P1racenews AI automatic summary:
With Pramac’s Jorge Martin just 13 points behind factory Ducati MotoGP title leader Francesco Bagnaia, surprise rumours have emerged that the pair might become team-mates in 2024.
There is speculation that if Jorge Martin were to win the MotoGP title, he could be promoted to the official Ducati team alongside Francesco Bagnaia, potentially replacing Enea Bastianini. Bastianini was chosen over Martin for the factory seat last season, but has struggled with injuries and has not performed well on the GP23. In contrast, Martin is currently in great form, with four wins this season and five consecutive Sprint race victories. Both Bastianini and Martin are contracted directly to Ducati, which could facilitate a team swap. However, Bagnaia believes it would be unfair to demote Bastianini, stating that he does not want to be involved in such a decision. Martin, on the other hand, said he would be proud to continue with the Pramac team but would also be happy to join the official Ducati team if requested.
