Missing out on last season’s MotoGP championship to Francesco Bagnaia als𒊎o meant that Martin missed a promotion to Ducati’s factory team for this year.

He will vie for the title as a Pramac rider again but has already warned Ducati that he will seek pas🌸tures new unless his wish to join the top team is met.

He was asked if he’d follow Luca Marini by joining Repso🤪l Honda i🅰n 2025.

“My position is differജent from Marini's,” Ma🐓rtin told . 

“Because I am winning and he is stagnant.

“But If I see that the Honda improves a little, or🦋 that in the long term it can be a winning project, it would be a good option. 

“But right now with Ducati I can enjoy it more.”

Martin made it cl꧟ear that his No1 goal is to wear red.

“My one hund♎red percent priority for 2025 is an official team,” he said. 

“My goal is the official Ducati team, beca🃏use it is the factory I am with, I know the bike and I have a lot of project🃏ion in this factory. 

“But if they don't want me or understand tha♑t I am not the best, I will look for something else."

Martin’s contract reportedly included aꦬ clause stating that, if he won the 2023 title, he would be automatically promoted to the factory team.

He would have been in place as ea🐲rly as the postseason Valencia test, if he overcame Bagnaia in the title battle.

“In Valencia I had two black jumpsuits readᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy in case I had to do the test in a different box,” Martin a🦩dmitted.

“I wanted to join the official team and I pres𝓡s✨ed my manager to have the option.

“But I don't think it changes anything if I won the championship or not. If Pecco crashes in Valencia and I win the race, then yes? What🔯 sense does that have? 

“I resent the fact that it's never enough. I don't ওknow wha💙t I have to do to prove more.”

Bastianini was pic﷽ked above Martin at the end of 2022 for a promotion, but his debut year as a factory rider was ravaged by an injury nightmare which started in the first sprint race.

“The difference between being on the official team compared to the satellite is that there are more personnel working♊,” Martin explained. 

“I prefer the atmosphere ofꦿ my team, because it is a group and more familiar. 

“So I would try to change that, because they are too serious, but working seriously when ಞit has to be♓ done, of course. 

“The difference is that they have more people, but at the level of [parts fo﷽r the bike] I think there is🌜 no difference.”
