At Ducati or elsewhere, Martín wants to be an official rider in 2025

However, it is certain that with Marc Marquez, we are two drivers from satellite teams who represent threats to the official team.

In 2025 my main goal is to go to Ducati, but if that is not possible I will have to look for other options, He said. There are many factories making great progress, we will see which is the best offer. »

For now, the Spaniard is focusing on the 2024 season, which he will compete with a new teammate in the person of Franco Morbidelli. However, the opponent he is most looking forward to facing on the track is not the Italian.

I see him fighting for the title next year, the fight will be similar to this year. Marc and Pecco are sure to be successful and we will see if other factories improve, like Honda or Yamaha. Otherwise the story of 2023 will repeat itself, but with the arrival of Marc in the fight” concludes Martin.
