Pramac rider Jorge Martin says he would understand Ducati’s decision if he is passed over for a factory ride in favour of Marc Marquez, who he described as a ‘marketing beast’.
Martin has been pushing Ducati to finally offer him a promotion to the factory team that he believes he thoroughly deserves, having finished second in the championship last year to Francesco Bagnaia. Earlier, Martin's only realistic rival for that seat was incumbent Enea Bastianini, but Marquez has now joined the fray after making a sensational switch from works Honda to Gresini this year.
So, it's already something that doesn't affect me,' he said. 'I'm clear about the manager I have, and the environment I have, the options I have. I am calm and it is clear that it is getting closer because we have been behind it for some time, but let's hope that in these two weeks everything will be clarified. So until then, I can't say anything.
