2021 is the year of the big move for Jorge Martin. Having cut his teeth in the minor categories, it&rsquo;s now time for the Spaniard to debut in MotoGP with the Ducati Pramac team and new team-mate, Johann Zarco.  Martin has clear ideas and only one goal and that is to be fast, right from the outset. &ldquo;The MotoGP riders are all very strong. Binder, for example, or Alex Marquez, have been on the podium in their debut seasons and this shows me that I can do it too&rdquo;, explains the 2018 Moto3 world champion during an interview with Marca. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve already battled them in the past and if I do everything right, I think I can reach that level. Seeing rookies on the podium gives you extra motivation&rdquo;.  The 2020 season was rather complicated for Martin, who tested positive for Covid-19 and was thus ruled out of the Moto2 title fight while lying second in the championship. &ldquo;When they told me I was positive for coronavirus, I didn&rsquo;t want to believe it. I had no symptoms and thought that I&rsquo;d test negative a few days later and be able to race again. What struck me most was the fact that when I came back I wasn&rsquo;t 100%. I&rsquo;m pleased because I was able to turn the situation around&quot;.  Moto2, good training for MotoGP   Jorge Martin&rsquo;s final thought has to do with Moto2, a category that is, in his opinion, underestimated but actually very challenging: &ldquo;I think Moto2 is a launch pad. I don&rsquo;t understand why it&rsquo;s always played down as it&rsquo;s actually quite tough. In Moto3 there are many talented young riders keen to move up, while Moto2 is a category that has riders who stay there for years and, despite being very experienced, don&rsquo;t have many chances to move on&rdquo;.  Speaking of Moto2, two other rookies await him in MotoGP this season, or rather Luca Marini and Enea Bastianini.&nbsp;It will be interesting to see who adapts quickest to the top class.
