Yamaha “preparing budget” to tempt Jorge Martin
Do Yamaha stand a chance of landing J⛎orge Martinꦯ next year?

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin will reportedly have the option to go🧸 to Y💜amaha next year.
As it stands, moving from Pramac Ducati to the struggling Japanese brand would mean swapping MotoGP’s best bike for one of its worst.
But much can change in a year and, according to ,💙 Yamaha are keeping an eye on Martin’s situation.
The 2023 MotoGP runner-up missed out twice on a 🌱promotion to the factory Ducati team and has made it clear that, unless h🦋e wears red in 2025, he will quit the sport’s dominant manufacturer.
“In Iwata they are prepari🧜ng the budget” to te♒mpt Martin across to Yamaha, the report states.
But Martin is “❀mainly interested in the bike” so Yamaha face extra pressure to improve the M1.
Moving from a Ducati satellite team to a factory squad would result in a pay rise, as Luca Marini is reportedly enjoying since🐠 swapping VR46 for Hond🐟a.
The other side of the coin is that Martin would li💮kely find himself on a less competitive bik🌳e next season.
But if he is intent on leaving Ducati to purs📖ue a factory position, where else m🉐akes sense?
Even KTM and Aprilia, despi🍸te outperforming Yamaha and Honda, lag behind the year-old Ducati bikes (except in the case of Brad Binder in Qatar).
Ducati have confirmed🐓 the arrival of Fermin Aldeguer in 2025 and, although they haven't confirmed which team he will be placed in, the likely landing spot is Pramac.
Th🅷at means either Martin or teammate Fr🐬anco Morbidelli is out of a seat next year.
Aldeguer's arrival into the mix at Ducati has increased the stakes and perhaps incentivised other manufacturers 💞to t♒empt away riders with knowledge of the Desmosedici.
Yamaha know that they face a battle to keep their own star rider, Fabio Quartararo. Aprilia are believed to hav🌌e an interest in him.
Should they lose Quartararo, it would fr✱ee up budget to land another big name like Martin.
Yamaha could even have an extra two seats in 2025 if they agree terms to take o♕ver the VR46 satellite team.
VR46 (who currently have Marco Bezzec🔯chi and Fabio di Giannantonio as their riders) are in talks to stay at Ducati but still haven’t signed, and Valentino Rossi maintains obvious links to Yamaha.
