Jorge Martin I was excited. He won the MotoGP sprint in Germany more than enough and is 21 points behind the Bagnaia lead. He feels strong to fight for the victory in the long race, despite starting sixth, as he said on DAZN.
Summary.
“It was a nice race. I knew I could fight for the win. I’ve been competitive all weekend. Today, without that yellow flag, I’ll probably start from pole position, but I finished sixth and I had to play my cards. Al At the beginning of the race, I had a good start, but there was a lot of chaos, a lot of very aggressive drivers, but I also got elbows, I was trying to find that gap to pass because I knew I was losing time, I could have scored more at the start, I knew I had a plus. I found that gap passing both riders at the same time, saving from the front. Then, I had another scare because I started to shoot. It was a nice battle with Pecco. He tried to hold me, but I managed to hold that distance and, in the end, just keep to get home safely.
Details.
“It has been complicated. And I have trained all weekend with the medium rubber behind and with the soft one I did not feel at all comfortable. I was even going to go to the sprint race with the medium, which is tomorrow’s rubber. With the soft, since I had not tried it, it has been going to scares. I have had patience until I have not had it when I have passed two at the same time and almost fell. I knock on wood, but now I have that control over the front, I know a little to where the limit is. That’s how far I’ve come to win today.”
Keys of change.
“A lot of experience, knowing how to be calm, above all. Arriving at a weekend in which maybe things don’t start as you want, be calm, not go crazy, before it made me very nervous, sometimes I got angry with the team because the bike wasn’t going the way I wanted. Sometimes you have to wait or adapt to the situation. Those two things are the key to the change we’re seeing.”
Long race.
“I felt stronger for the long race than for the sprint. Pecco, yesterday, with the soft one, had a very good pace. And I, with the average. I think I have been the one who has worked the most with the average, I know it quite well We will see the start, because starting sixth here is not entirely easy, but if everything goes well, with patience, we can move forward and I hope to fight it”.
