With this rumor growing about Jorge Martin, we see that things are definitely going faster and faster in MotoGP, and not just on the track. Behind the scenes too, things are accelerating. The 2023 season has not even started and the transfer market for 2024 is already waking up. Rumor has it that the “Martinator” would definitely be inconsolable to have had his politeness grilled by Enea Bastianni for a red Ducati, even though he had the same Desmosedici model in the Pramac box with guaranteed optimum technical support and an identical salary. to the two officials. A disappointment that Lin Jarvis sees as an opportunity to seduce him and hire him as Fabio Quartararo's teammate, which would greatly change the situation under the awning of the Iwata brand, but also for the pilot, who has in his hands the bike of the moment, even if it is not the color we hoped for... A situation which would also be likely to become a problem for Gigi Dall'Igna's clan in 2023.
George Martin official driver Yamaha in 2024 would be a prospect to be considered with less and less lightness. Given the technical level currently displayed by the set MotoGP, we can only be surprised to see a pilot well served by Ducati pinching for an M1 which has shown that it has fallen far behind in terms of performance over the last two seasons. But the heart has its reasons that reason ignores and that of Jorge Martin would bleed from having his politeness grilled by Enea Bastianini for the position of neighbor of Pecco Bagnaia.
We would therefore have a George Martin revengeful. And contractually, the exit door exists. The lease certainly runs until the end of 2024, but a premature end is possible. It will still be complicated since Ducati can exercise an option. Furthermore, the commitments of bastianini and Martin mention that they are drivers of the brand, without specifying exactly in which team, so that it can decide to position them wherever it wishes.
Jorge Martin has all the cards to be the troublemaker of this season
There is therefore a tension between George Martin et Ducati et Lynn Jarvis wants to make it an opportunity to Yamaha . A situation which will have to be taken into account from 2023. Jorge Martin will thus be a poison, the hazardous parameter. On the one hand, he will not give gifts to Pecco Bagnaia like a Enea Bastianini, and first of all because he will want to go down in history as the first World Champion from a private team. Then, if he dominates one of the two, he will request his red suit for the 2024 season. In the event of refusal, Lynn Jarvis will wait for him by unrolling the carpet of the same color towards his M1.
Davide Tardozzi had sensed the danger very early by declaring that George Martin would now do everything to show Ducati that he was wrong in preferring “Bestia”. With this perspective Yamaha , the “Martinator” no longer even has to fear finding himself on foot in the event that his audacity takes him too far. We are there, and that lowers the rating of Toprak Razgatlioglu while that of Franco Morbidelli collapses a little more. As for fabio quartararo, having such a team member would revive the notion of strong internal emulation within the Japanese manufacturer.
