“Happy today! Was a difficult race because starting in sixth was not the best positꦚion,” said Martin. “But I was able to overtake a lot of riders on a track that is normally d⭕ifficult. Hopefully tomorrow we can repeat it. 

“I wasn’t in the best position for sure. Going into the first corner I was on thܫe dirty ಌside and I couldn’t overtake. 

“I 🌟was just maintaining the place. Then, s𒉰tep-by-step I was overtaking riders and felt really good. 

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to overtake Brad before the race, but suddenly I overtook all of them even if I was managiౠng the rear tyre. 

“It was difficult to make i🧸t to the end because the soft [ওtyre] was really soft. I’m proud of the work.”

Martin’s win, coupled with Francesco Bag🌞na൩ia only managing P8, means the Spaniard leads the championship by seven points.

But despite it being🍎 his first time in this position, Martin admits he will keep the same approach and that the pressure is still on the shoulders of Bagnaia. 

Mar🌜tin added: “Feels good. It feels amazing and feels like a dream, but every race will be the same - I need to attack, I need to enjoy the moment🅠 and everything that comes is good. 

“Th✅e pressure, I feel, is on Pecco. I will keep the same mentality.”
