The doubt is clear: Ducati is between Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martín, two very talented riders with a bright future that the Italian company wants to keep no matter what. The battle for Jack Miller’s seat has had many ups and downs, though despite the inconsistency of Bastianiniseems to be leading that land due to three successes it has achieved in 2022 and its current third position in the world. After the appointment of Mugellowhich was not finished by Enea, the sports director of DucatiPaul Ciabatticonfirmed that Ducati have not yet made a decision and preferred to wait.

“The decision will be made later. Now we have a goal to keep Enea and Martin at Ducati in 2023.
