On Wednesday, Autosport revealed that 18-year-old Spaniard Aldeguer has agreed a deal with Ducati to join Pramac on factory machinery in 2025.
Aldeguer won five grands prix in Moto2 last year on his way to third in the championship and is one of the more highly-rated prospects in the MotoGP paddock right now.
Despite his relative lack of grand prix experience with just 48 starts coming into 2024, Martin believes Aldeguer is “ready” for MotoGP.
“Yeah, I think he’s ready,” Martin said during Pramac’s 2024 livery launch in Bahrain on Wednesday. “I think he, after the end of last season we saw his potential.
“Now it’s time to really demonstrate for a long season and be fighting for a championship.
“But for sure I think at the moment he is the strongest in Moto2. [He needs] to be relaxed.
“I don’t know if he has signed or not, but this I think will give him some confidence into the season.”
