Jorge Martin ad𓆉mits he was impressed by Marc Marquez’s data last year.

Martin prevail🔯ed as MotoGP champion on a factory-spec Ducati, a bike which was a year newer than Marquez’s v♛ersion.

But in 2025 Maꩲrquez returns with a factory Ducati while Martin must defend his title while adapting to the Aprilia.

Marti💙n has considered which of his rivals is the▨ favourite for the 2025 title.

“In the end, the one who has been ahead is Pecco Ba🍰gnaia,♓” he told .

“So, I see Pec🎐co as a favorite, but I'm not going to deceive you, in the end, I saw the data and I hav꧟e seen things in Marc.

“There are times when you say: 'Damn, the way the bike is running here, it's goin𓃲g very fast'.

“Which is not always the case, there🦂 have been a couple of🎀 races, especially Thailand and Malaysia, where I don't know why, his bike ran less.

“I've even talked about it with him, but the guy tried and tried and, in the end, 𓄧he had great races.

“So, I think that with th🌳e GP25, there is surely room for improvement, but I think Pecco is at a very difficult level to reach.

“Eleven wins are crazy and, right now, after winning two consecutive titles andﷺ being runner-up this year, he is the favorite right now.

“Then, in the end, what i🅠s talked about now, it doesn't matter. We'll see what happens…”

Martin has the extremely difficult challenge of fighting against the factory Ducati riders, who are equipped with Moto🔯GP’s b꧋est bike.

“I'm not so convinced that I can succeed with Aprilia,” he admittꦕed.

“I am convinced that we are going to give our 100% and I have no expectations, ꦏꦿbecause I have to see that, I have to see how the bike is.

“The bike, [last] year, they finished third in Constructors, it has not been the best bike and, from 🙈there, it is about trying to improve.

“I think I can contribute a lot to the new factory, I ca♎n contribute [consistency], speed🔴.

“But it is clear, what we have all seen, that there are races [in which they were 15th]. So, there is soꦛmething.

“We have to see where we are starting from and, from there, that the factory is🧸 100%. I believe that the w♔armth of the entire factory and the heart that they put into it will help me and we will be able to do beautiful things, for sure.”
