Jorge Martin exhausted after Indian MotoGP: “Like your head is cooking inside the helmet!”
The Pramac rider briefly ceded second position to Fabio Quartararo after a braking error but he superblyꦑ claimed it bac☂k.
Martin was o🐎n his knees, visibility dehydrated, as the race ended.
“It was a con🅘centration thing,” Sylvain Guintoli sa🎐id on TNT Sports about Martin’s initial error.
“He was haꦦng♊ing, at the end of the race, physically.
“It’s like your head is coo🅷king inside the helmet! You lose senses, you lose vision, you lose sharpness.
“He made a bit of a mistake. He had a margin on Fabio then made a pass, super-a♚ggressive🥂, on the limit.
“It was fair and square.”
M😼ichael Laverty noted that riders were in their leathers half-an-hou💃r before the 37-minute Indian MotoGP is hot conditions.
“You’re already sweating, losing fluids, sodium, potassium, ✱magnesium,🉐” he said.
“A 5 percent fluid loss equateಌs to a 30 percent performance loss.
“You could see he was gone. I’m impressed he wa💎s a🌞ble to fight back with Fabio.
“He knew he had to fight♎ for those points and he did.”

“It was a tough one between the two main men in the championship. They wanted to dice it🧜 out,” Guintoli said.
“Pecco was trying to stay in front but Ma🌌rtin had more pace.
“Those⛎ two dicing was a nice spectac♓le, it was nice to see the respect too.
“𒐪We also saw the issue that we have in MotoGP at the moment with the draft - at the end of the straight, you can’t stop the bike anymore and it’s hard to judge.
“We’ve s🍸een near misses and we’re talking about the top riders in the wor♋ld who don’t get much wrong.
“It’s a very diffꦉicult sensation to explain. You don’t get it as much with Superbikes, for example, because there is no aero, wings or ride-height devices.
“With MotoGP the front tyre is overworked and the wind stops you, lik♍e a parachute.”
Laverty added: “Unfortunately Pecco had another slightly u💯nforced error.
“He did have t𒈔he harder front than everyone else which caught him out, it was the wrong choice.
“He felt it would give him braking stability towards the end of the race but it left him in the grav𒆙el.
“Another huge dent in his championship, giving away 20 points to Martin and 25 to Bezze﷽cchi.
“It was a momentary thing, your react🉐ions are never going to catch ♌it.
“Heartbreak f🌞or Pecco, we’ve seen it 🌺over the years.
“Championship-wisꦑe he’s going to star🌌t to feel it.”
Guintoli said: “Martin is in great form, he has a good feeling with tꦯhe bike.
“Bezzecchi is not out of it.
“There are opportuni🎃ties to score points or to make mistakes.
“They push each other and are on similar machine𒐪ry.”
