High praise from Ducati towards Jorge Martin

Can Jorge Martin be a world champion in MotoGP, Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali believes so. 

"I think Jorge [Martin] will be champion one day," Domenicali told Marca. "He has splendid talent. In certain conditions, he is incredible, explosive. He has a very strong ability to concentrate.

"At the moment, he has shown to be stronger over one lap, in the fight for pole position, than in the race.

"In the race he does well, but not as well as in qualifying… yet. In some races he has; he has already won.

"This year, the wrist has bothered him, so it is difficult to judge him, but it is certain that in the coming years he will be one of the riders who will be very strong."
