“It's simple,” Marc Marquez explained...
Pramac’s Jorge Martin will feature for Aprilia in theBut Ducati initially offered Martin the coveted factory seat. But it came with a contractual clause: if Marquez wins this year’s championship, he is automatically promoted to the official team at Martin’s expense.“One reason, and the main one, is that, if you have to earn it on the track, you have to have the same weapons.Marquez was referring to the year-old Ducati that he is currently riding for Gresini.
“And the third point, athletes not only have sports contracts but there are others with sponsors who have followed me throughout my career and a multinational closes in September for the next two years and cannot wait. It was unfeasible.” Marquez made it very clear that switching to Pramac was not acceptable, an unexpected stance which essentially forced Ducati to U-turn on their original decision to give Martin the official bike next year.
The rest of this year’s title fight will now play out with the subplot of Martin moving to Aprilia, and Marquez moving to the factory Ducati team, in 2025.
