Campinoti enjoys Martin's title: "Jorge told me 'we'll make history'"

Barcelona, ​​November 17, 2024 – Pramac e Campinoti they make history and win the world title with a satellite team, the first time since the Moto GP category exists, thanks to Jorge Martin, who beat Pecco by ten points bagnaia despite the Italian's eleven seasonal victories. A farewell with a bang for Campinoti which will be from next year Yamaha , leaving Ducati after twenty years, and for Martin, who will bring the number one on the fairing on Aprilia, the choice after Ducati's decision to promote Marc Marquez. Jorge was already 'discarded' two years ago and Enea was preferred bastianini and, having overcome his initial disappointment, he set his sights on making history. He succeeded.  

Campinoti: “Great relationship with Ducati. Martin told me…”

Only in the 500, with Vale's Nastro Azzurro team Rossi, a satellite team had managed to win a riders' championship, so Pramac rightfully enters the history of the world championship, at the end of a sumptuous two-year period given that one year ago there was the world title among the teams. Campinoti closes the twenty-year partnership with Borgo Panigale in the best possible way: “It was a great relationship, they behaved like gentlemen – his words to Sky Sport Moto gp – If they got to this point it is thanks to the great work they did and on our part there was just as much work to win. If we are here it is thanks to Ducati”. To make the challenge exciting, but fair, there were the two riders, rivals but honest, clean, without unfairness. Never an over the top behavior from bagnaia e Martin who challenged each other with overtaking but always within the canons of sportsmanship: "They are two very good guys - Campinoti continues - They are correct and you could see it in the first laps of Sepang, they fought with the utmost respect". But this world title starts from afar, from at least two years ago when bastianini was preferred to Martin on the official bike alongside Bagnaia, and even this season, when it came to making a choice, Borgo Panigale went for it Marquez. Campinoti told an anecdote of those difficult days in 2021 when Jorge received the news that he would not ride in the red factory team. Once the disappointment had passed, an ambition mechanism was triggered: “When the Factory team chose Bastianini, Jorge called me and said we will make history'. Those were beautiful years,” Campinoti concluded. Now the final effort of the season is on Tuesday, when there will be tests with the 2025 bikes. Marquez will first move to a Gp24 and then to the Gp25 which Pirro has developed in recent weeks. Martin, instead, will be expected by Aprilia. News also with the rookies. Fermin Aldeguer will ride a Ducati Gresini, Ai Ogura, Moto 2 world champion, will lead the Aprilia Trackhouse and Somkiat Chamtra will replace Taka Nakagami at LCR Honda.
