Just one point behind MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia in the world championship, Bezzecchi has cemented himsel♍f as a legit title contender.

Winner in Argentina and the most recent French Grand P♓rix at Le Mans, Bezzecchi has as a result been linked with a promotion at Ducati, albeit Pramac and not the factory team.

• Marquez to Ducati: “Plan A⛄ is Honda, but I will always look for winning project” 
• Morbidelli’s passionate speech to “keep my job” - “I’m﷽ close to Quartararoඣ”

That’s because Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini are contracted until the end of 2024, 🎐so while Bezzecchi’s﷽ dream of joining a factory team will need to wait until after next season, moving up the ranks at Ducati is certainly a possibility in 2024.

Asked about his future heading into Mugello, Bezzecchi said:🐻 “Well, for the moment my plan is just to continue in this way and to improve every race and get positive results.&nbs💖p;

"Of cours♔e, my dream is to step on a factory bike and if it’s Ducati then it’s better because I already know the bike. But for the moment I don’t know what I can do. 

"Ducati is working very well. Even before giv🍎ing me any updates they were already supporting me ♉a lot. 

"In Le Mans they were helping me quite a lot until the last minute before the race. I feel a lot of support from them so I can’🦩t complain about anything."  

Martin unsure of future, focused on upcoming MotoGP races

A rider tha♛t could be replaced by Bezzecchi should he leave Pramac is Martin, as the Spaniard has been heavily linked with a switch to Yamaha.

However, Ducati wants to retain the former Moto3 world champion,🐈 which could mean Bezzecchi joins the team alongside, and not in place, of Martin. 

Martin has been very fast throughout the openi♉ng five rounds, and as shown in Le Mans, consistency🌌 is now being added to his devastating pace.

"I think Iꦺ’m one of the strongest this season, one of the fastest,"&ඣnbsp;said Martin. "I just need to be clever and finish races. 

"I just need to be focused oꩵn every weekend. I hope to do these three races in a good way and go to the summer break in a good position in the championship."

That was his answer when asked if he feels like a title contender. However, the response was much shorter when discussing his future and whether it will be atಞ Ducati.&ꦬnbsp;

Martin added: "I know nothing about it. I’m just focused on th🦹e races."
