Martin to let Ducati make call on taking Bastianini factory MotoGP spot in 2024
There are rumors that Ducati may consider moving Jorge Martin to the factory team in 2024, possibly replacing Enea Bastianini. Bastianini has struggled to meet expectations due to injuries, leading to a disappointing season so far. Ducati had previously stated that Bastianini would stay in his current position in 2024, but this answer seems less certain now. It is worth noting that the contracts of Bagnaia, Martin, Bastianini, and Morbidelli all directly link them to Ducati. Martin’s contract expires in 2024, but his intention is to secure a factory bike in 2025 and 2026. The outcome of the championship may influence Ducati’s decision, with the possibility of promoting Martin if he becomes the champion or keeping him at Pramac if he doesn’t.
