This year 2020 will have revealed unprecedented situations that will go down in history. First there was the confinement imposed by an otherwise still active Coronavirus. Then, a new calendar was developed, unprecedented, opening the season in July. But in between, there will have been this drivers' market, where essential things will have been decided without the slightest race having been contested. Some pilots will bitterly regret it. Others will welcome it. Among them, Jorge Martin. The current Moto2 rider in KTM colors is promised to MotoGP in the Ducati fold…
In this melee that the pilot market has become in recent days, we see a distant duel between KTM et Ducati, accelerated by Honda. The Japanese firm will poach Pol Espargaro from the Austrian manufacturer who, as a result, must take the offensive. The procrastination of Dovizioso on its renewal with Ducati are taken into consideration. Especially since the Italian brand is ready to get hold of one of its strong hopes: George Martin.
The 3 vintage Moto2018 World Champion is indeed expected at Pramac in 2021. A prospect in which the Spaniard firmly believes. So much so that he would like to see things speed up. To be honest, he would like to see everything resolved before returning to competition in July in Jerez. On DAZN, he specifies: “ I hope we have everything closed so that I only think about the first race in Jerez. Because always in the middle of the season offers come to you, you start thinking about such and such, and you lower your level even if you don't want to ».
The right riding style for a MotoGP
Waiting and finding yourself in the heat of the moment also means exposing yourself to adversity and injuries, which can change everything. The omens are favorable for the moment and George Martin therefore logically wants to sign his contract for MotoGP: “ I think I am a rider who has good characteristics for the riding style for a MotoGP. I'm a rider who brakes very late, I lift the bike a lot when coming out of the corner and I think that's something very important in MotoGP He says.
According to the latest news, his place at Bow Ducati would be assured, but a counterattack from KTM would not be excluded...
