In recent weeks, Ducati developed an ideal scenario for the next two years in MotoGP, which, in the eyes of its executives, would fit perfectly with their will and that of eight-time world champion Marc Marquez and current standings leader Jorge Martin, whose renewals became a priority once Francesco Bagnaia was secured. The idea was to promote Martin to the factory team, as Bagnaia's team-mate, and place Marquez at Pramac with factory rider treatment to all intents and purposes.
Since Thursday, the multi-champion has pulled out all the stops to increase the pressure on those who must make the final decision, with that smile of his and a very flattering speech. Martin, for his part, doubts the word received from the bosses of the Bolognese firm, and fears the weight behind Marquez's words could force Ducati to back down.
