Pramac Ducati will use an unchanged rider line-up for the 2022 MotoGP World Championship after securing the signatures of Johann Zarco and Jorge Martin for another season.
The French-Spanish pairing represented an entirely new line-up for the Italian team, Ducati Corse’s official satellite, in 2021, with Zarco stepping up from Avintia while Martin made his debut after leaving Moto2.

Martin, meanwhile, retains his seat despite having only started two Grand Prix for Pramac Ducati before an accident in free practice for Portuguese MotoGP excluded him from the next four laps. Nonetheless, he made an impression in these two races and achieved a pole position and a podium place in only his second Grand Prix in Qatar.
