Jorge Martin had option to land factory Ducati 2024 seat if he won championship
But ꧒Martin failed to usurp Francesco Bagnaia at the top of the standings at the final round, after crashing out early in Valencia.
😼That cos🐽t him the title and possibly a promotion too.
His contract includ🍎ed a clause wh🎃ich allowed him to possibly be promoted if he became MotoGP champion, reported.
Martin would have worn red as soon as Tu🧜esday’s postseaso🍨n test, if the Valencia MotoGP went his way.
Last year, Martin w😼as 💝overlooked for the factory seat in favour of Enea Bastianini.
Although Bastianini won his first grand prix for the factory team in Mala🍸ysia, his year has been ruined by injury.
And Bastianini’s con🤪tract stipulates that only this season was guaranteed on a factory bike.
