How did Martin lose the factory bike to Marquez?

I don't buy that story from Crash because if Ducati left it till the end of the season to finalise their factory rider, there would be no time to sort out the sponsorship deals. I would rather believe what Simon Crafar's speculation that Ducati asked JM89 to wait another 3 weeks for their decision, and JM89 got impatient, so he went to talk to Aprilia.
