Carlo Pernat Just Made a Bold Warning for Ducati Lenovo’s Mistake After Signed Marc Marquez and Let Jorge Martin Leave
In a bold statement that has sent shockwaves through the MotoGP community, Carlo Pernat, the renowned MotoGP manager, has issued a stern warning to Ducati Lenovo after the team’s controversial moves in the rider market. Pernat, known for his sharp insights and fearless opinions, questioned Ducati’s recent decision to sign Marc Marquez while letting Jorge Martin go — a decision he believes could prove to be a costly mistake for the Italian powerhouse.
Marquez, a multiple-time MotoGP World Champion, has been a figure of much debate over the last few years, grappling with injury setbacks yet still showing glimpses of his former dominance. Ducati’s decision to bring him on board has left many scratching their heads, considering the team’s ongoing development of their impressive Desmosedici GP bike with young, talented riders such as Martin, who has been performing exceptionally well.
Jorge Martin, a rising star in MotoGP, has shown incredible potential and fast lap times, with a future that seemed to be aligned with Ducati’s ambitions. However, the decision to let him go has raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike. Pernat, in his typical candid style, pointed out that Ducati’s move could be risky, questioning whether Marquez, with his history of injuries, could still deliver the results expected of him.
“Ducati’s decision to sign Marquez might be a mistake,” Pernat remarked, adding, “They are signing a rider who is coming off significant injuries, and they are letting go of a young, talented rider like Martin, who is hungry and fast. The future of Ducati could have been more secure with Martin.”
This remark has sparked a debate within the paddock about whether Ducati’s focus on experience over youth is the right path forward. While Marquez undoubtedly brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, many believe the team should have focused more on developing the younger, more agile talents who are already integrated into the Ducati setup.
The uncertainty surrounding the future of both Marquez and Martin has left fans and insiders eager to see how these decisions play out on the track. Will Marquez return to his previous form and lead Ducati to victory, or will the decision to let Martin go prove to be a misstep? Only time will tell, but for now, the bold warning from Carlo Pernat adds another layer of intrigue to Ducati’s MotoGP strategy.
