Jorge Martin could spearhead a new era at Honda from next year, the Pramac boss has warned.
Martin narrowly missed out on the MotoGP championship last season, hindering his desired promotion from Pramac to the official Ducati team. He has stated that this will be his last year as a satellite rider, even if it means seeking opportunities elsewhere for a factory bike. Pramac CEO Paolo Campinoti believes that Martin could potentially go to Honda, as they are in need of a strong rider and he is considered the most promising among the younger riders. However, the arrival of Luca Marini at Honda this year means there will only be one potential vacancy in 2025, currently occupied by Joan Mir. Campinoti confirmed that 2024 will be Martin’s last year with Pramac. Despite Martin’s disappointment, Campinoti is pleased to retain a top rider. Last season, Martin’s championship hopes were dashed due to tire trouble in Qatar, causing frustration and a missed opportunity. Martin will have Franco Morbidelli as his new teammate this year, replacing Johann Zarco.
