Ducati undoubtedly has high hopes for Jorge Martin, whom the brand has placed directly with Pramac, for a GP21. The 23-year-old Spaniard finished fifth his last season in a Moto2 category dominated by Enea Bastianini whose main challenger was Luca Marini. Two Italians who will also be on Ducatis but GP19s at Avintia. Jorge Martin therefore cannot disappoint. And as if he didn't have enough pressure as it is, he gets over it a little more by revealing his 2021 goals...
We cannot suspect George Martin from a lack of self-confidence. The 2018 World Champion Moto3 didn't really have the season that was expected of him last year, but he saved his honor with a victory all the same. Here he is MotoGP, a position that he could also take for granted from confinement. He will be a beginner, which does not impress him, because he remembers what the rookies accomplished in 2020…
Jorge Marin think like this Brad Binder winner on KTM and Alex Marquez who was twice on the podium with the Honda. The Spaniard therefore draws this certainty: he cannot do worse, therefore at least as well, or even better. For example a podium: “ When I look at what Brad and Alex did last year, I have to say it's possible ", he declared on Trademarks. " Of course, you have to do a good job, but my main goal remains to be rookie of the year. But of course it would be amazing to get on a podium ».
Jorge Martin: “my generation is prepared for this style of racing”
He adds : " I'm focusing more on competing in the top 10 towards the end of the year, because consistency is a very important factor, as we saw last year ". However, if he is confident, he also knows what awaits him: “ I will compete in a class with 16 or 17 world champions, in Moto2 there were two or three. Of course the level of performance will be much higher and it will be much more demanding ».
However… " But I think the fights in Moto2 and Moto3 have prepared me well for this upcoming event. My generation is prepared for this style of racing ». Martin is sure of it. He will be the teammate of Johann zarco.
