Despite all Jorge Martin has just achieved on a Ducati, what he wants from his MotoGP future means a 2025 factory switch already looks near-certain
Jorge Martin made a strategic decision to move from KTM to Ducati in MotoGP for a better chance at race wins and a championship title. Despite being the 2023 championship runner-up, it’s increasingly likely that Martin’s future will be with a different team for similar reasons that led him to Ducati. Martin’s career has been closely tied to KTM, with his success in the Red Bull Rookies Cup and Moto2. However, with KTM’s MotoGP bike not being competitive at the time, Martin chose to join Ducati instead. This move has proven successful so far, with pole positions, race wins, and a strong title challenge. However, Martin has expressed his desire for a factory seat, and not being promoted alongside his title rival Bagnaia has led him to consider other options for 2025.
