The Pramac Racing rider is 13 points behind championship leader Francesco Bagnaia in a tooth-and-nail scrap for the 2023 MotoGP title.

Martin is in red-hot form, winning bothꦬ races at the weekend’s Thailand MotoꦯGP.

And his bli🐟st🎐ering speed could earn him a promotion into Ducati’s top team, alongside Bagnaia, next season, report.

The Spanish newspaper claimed they “can guarantee from the paddock of the Chang International Circuit that the doors of the official Ducati boxဣ are opening again to Jorge✃ Martin”.

Fonsi Nieto, Martin’s technician, told AS when asked if he expected a move to the factory tea𓆉m: “I could give you many answers. It makes me sad and it makes me happy. 

“It mak꧟es me very sad on the one hand an🦋d I am 100 percent happy on the other, but if it is for that reason, because we are world champions, the team would be very happy to see that. And if he doesn't win, too. 

“🅰Right now Jorge is a rider who deserves any bike he wants from the paddock. 

“Right now I think he is🎃 the rider that the factories want t🌌he most.”

Pramac boss Gino Borsoi, asked if he expects to lose Martin, replied: “I don't know what will happen, but if it happens ✤it will be♉ because he deserves it.”

A year ago, Martin was ov𒁃erlooked for a promotion to the factory team in favour of Enea Bastianini.

Bastianini, with Gresini in 2022, had won the sec❀ond-most amount of racesܫ behind champion Bagnaia.

But Bastianini’s debutᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ year as a factory rider has been savaged by injury, the first of which was suffered on the opening weekend.

Bastianini may ha꧑ve initially signed for two years but Ducati reportedly want to strengthen their factory team whi👍le Martin is showing the best form of his his career.

The Mot♔oGP season has three rounds remaining, starting in Malaysia in two weeks.

Although Ducati’s 2024 MotoGP rider line-up appeared guaranteed - including the addition of Marc 𒆙Marquez on a year-old machine for Gresini - it seems there may still be time for one major shake-up.
