Jorge Martin’s final push for the 2024 MotoGP title has faced several setbacks, primarily due to growing pressure and complications within his team.
Martin has openly admitted struggling to manage the pressure of leading the championship, particularly in high-stakes moments like the Indonesian GP. Moreover, his Pramac Ducati bike’s development has likely been frozen, as Ducati prepares for next season and shifts focus towards new rider Marc Marquez, leaving Martin with minimal technical updates. This situation may lead to a performance gap between him and his competitors, such as Francesco Bagnaia, further challenging Martin’s title bid.
Additionally, internal team tensions following his decision to leave Ducati for Aprilia in 2025 have added strain, potentially affecting team support. Combined with Bagnaia’s consistent performance and a demanding calendar, Martin’s path to the title remains uncertain.
