Ducati MotoGP boss Ciabatti has downplayed talk that Jorge Martin could move to Yamaha for 2024. 'At the moment, it doesn't look like Yamaha has the bike to win the championship.'
One-time grand prix winner Martin made his MotoGP debut with Ducati as a Pramac rider in 2021 and won the Styrian GP in his rookie year.
Martin confirmed during the French Grand Prix weekend that he does have a clause in his current contract that states he can leave a year early if he is offered a factory seat. "He's one of the fastest young riders and, at the moment, it doesn't look like Yamaha has the bike to win the championship."We don't know about next year, but at the moment he's on a winning bike and I think he'd like to stay because he likes to win."
But it has contested the season so far without Bastianini, who suffered a broken shoulder in the Portuguese GP sprint at the start of the campaign in March.
