Martin is embroiled in a scrap with Enea Bastianini (third in the championship) and Marc Marquez (fourth) over the official Ducati alongside Bagnaia in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up.

“You're also handli🧸ng all the rumours about your future vꦍery well,” he was told by .

Martin answered꧂: "Yes, but for me this isn't p🐓ressure.

“I had pressure when I was a rookie and if I 𒀰didn't win I risked losing the possibility of riding a motorbike.

“Let's say I did a good amount of trainღing in the🌌 past...

“Of course, I w🐲ould like༺ to already have a clear idea of ​​my future, but in the end good things take time and we have to wait a bit."

Martin said about whether he will finally to promot😼ed to the factory Ducati team next year: "Unfortunately I don't know, I'd like to tell you.

“I think it's not💖 long now, everything should be ඣdecided within these two races.

“But I don't think that much will change 🐼for me: in Barcelona or at Mugello you will always see the same rid🧜er on the track.”

‘I am fighting with incredible champions’

Martin is the rider in-form but his battle with Bagnaia and 🐈Marquez is already becomingℱ epic.

Last weekend in Le Mans, although Marquez stole the show wi🌠th a late pass on Bagnaia, it was Martin who dominated the weekend.

“I'm fighting with incredible champions: Marquez 8 world t𒅌itles, Pecco 3.

“Winning against these riders is beautiful and also ✤stimulates me for the future.

“I don't think I have to prove anything💜, because I've already done it.

“Now I'm racing for myself and to get results.

“I think all the riders want to get to a factory team and I think it's the right time for me to do it. It w𒐪ould be a bit like a closing circle…”

Martin and Bagnaia were pr🌌eviously teammates in Moto3.

Martin said their relationship remains “ver♋y good” and added: “We respect each other a lot. We see each other often🐼 and always talk.

“In Moto3 it was more of a 'game', we slept in the same room for two yeꦅars and we were very, very good friends.

“Now we fight for the same things and there is more rivalry, but the relationship is one of respect an🍸d admiration, because he has done incredible things."

After missing out on the 2023 championship on the fiꦕnal day, Martin is well-placed to go one♍ better this year.

"There's still a long way to go, I don't think abo𒁏ut it now,” ⛎he said.

“I always give 100%, sometimes I'm stronger and other times less. My goal is always to🌸 do my best.

“I want to make ꦬthe most of every moment and have fun, not just think about the final victory.

“If at the end of the year there will obviously be the possibility of trying to win the world championship, but now I'm not thinking about 🥃it."
