Jorge Martin finds himself at a crossroads, with his future in the MotoGP paddock fraught with speculation and various possibilities. The most desirable position for him remains that of official rider at Ducati, but this prestigious position will only be his if he wins the world championship.
Gino Borsoi, in a recent interview, did not hide that the destinies of the team Prima Pramac and George Martin seem to take divergent directions. For the Spaniard, the scenario is clear: if he wins the MotoGP title, he will be promoted to Lenovo Team, but in case of failure, he will have to separate from the Desmosedici to embrace a new challenge.
For the Spanish, the option Honda should not be ruled out. On the side of Luca marini, engaged with Repsol HRC for two years, uncertainty looms. Although he strives to tame the RC213 V, its future remains uncertain. As for Joan mir, after a mixed year 2023 at Honda, he is looking to bounce back while keeping an eye on other opportunities, so predicting his presence in the same box next year would be daring.
Jorge Martin cannot be ignored by Honda and Yamaha in the transfer market
George Martin, Moto3 world champion in 2018 with Honda, enjoys a favorable reputation in Tokyo. If Marini was recruited to uncover the secrets of Ducati, the arrival of Martin in Honda would be a masterstroke.
But with Yamaha also, there is an avenue to explore. In the restructuring phase and considering potentially forming a second team with VR46, the question of the future of fabio quartararo arises in the box marked with three tuning forks. Will the 2021 champion stay or will he take another path? Everything suggests that he could already look elsewhere, barring a spectacular turnaround.
George Martin could therefore be integrated into Yamaha , but the desire to be official in MotoGP is strong, although he already rides an official Desmosedici at Prima Pramac. According to Moto sprint, at Iwata, a budget could be dedicated to the possible hiring of Jorge Martin, on condition of improving the competitiveness of the M1. Because for the Martinator, it is the performance of the motorcycle that takes precedence above all.
We will recall that Ducati confirmed the arrival of Fermin Aldeguer in 2025 and, although it has not been confirmed which team he will be placed in, the likely landing spot is Pramac. It means that Jorge Martin or his teammate Franco Morbidelli will have to leave the place next year. Aldeguer's arrival at Ducati raised the stakes by encouraging other manufacturers to attract riders familiar with the Desmosedici.
