With💯 Francesco Bagnaia crashing at turn five after contꦏact with Marc Marquez, which resulted in him failing to score, Martin has now taken over the championship lead for the third time in his career.
“I’m really proud of the work we did all weekend,” be💟gan Martin. “I knew that with the medium rear I was going to feel much better.
“I was really com🃏mitted to take the lead and I kn🦂ew it was the key today to be in the front. Being in the lead on lap one was the key to the win.
“I was able to manage ꦗthe rear tyre a bit in the first few laps and theꩲ small gap.
“Then, as soon as I started to push I saw that the gap was always the same. But I knew that I had♒ some margin to slowly make th💮e gap bigger and bigger.
“At seventh ten♐ths I was a bit more relaxed and I knew that it was a nice g🌟ap to have until the end.
“I knew, like in Indonesia, that winning the race by seven tenths or three seconds w♕as the same, so seven tenths was enough.”
When asked about the incident between his fellow Duc🌟ati riders, Martin claimed to have different thoughts going through his head, the last of those involving winning at all costs to gain points in the title race.
“About the incident I saw it on the screen and at that point I thought ‘okay, Jorge you have to finish 100%’,” added Martin. “I was quite slow🦩 for a couple of corneﷺrs but then I said to myself that I needed to win.
“It doesn’t matter whetꦅher I finish, I just had to win. Thওat corner is a bit complicated. It was just racing.”
After encountering chatter issues during pre-season and in Qatar, Martin admitted he felt it a lot less throughout this weekend, and especi🐠ally the grand prix.
Instead it’s the sprints where he’s feeling the problem more: “We need to understand why but we suffer much more wh♛en we push at the beginning than when we can be smooth in the first laps.
“Today, in th𝔍e first laps I w🦄as quite smooth and we were fast. I was really relaxed. When I started pushing I had that thought in my mind that the vibrations were arriving.
“But we have to check this for Sat൲urday’s because the sprint is now our weak point. We need to be focused on that and try to fixဣ that.”
