• Marc Marquez “not frustrated” to miss Qatar podium, Acඣosta “impressive" 

• 𝕴Brad Binder: Pumping and spinning ‘a lot more under control’

Happy with the podium, Martin felt he could have challenge𝔉d Bagnaia had he produced a faster pace sooner.

“I’m happy about the result,” began Martin. “If you as🍬ked me yesterday, being on the podium today was going to be really tough but maybe we had the potential to win. 

“I’m not 100% happy. I think I was too good on tyres at the beginning of the race𓆉 and then🌟 Pecco overtook me and everything changed a lot because my front pressure went a bit high.

“But the pace was fast and with two laps to go🌊 I was able to make two [1m] 52.7 [lap times] to pull away from Marc🍨 and nearly catch Brad.

“We will take the positives to Portimao, but I’m not riding 100% of the package with the new bike. If we improve I guess we can be much more🌱 competitive.”

While Bagnaia made 🔥a habit of starting the main r🉐aces quickly last season in order to get to the front and control his front tyre pressure, Martin did not expect that to be the case today.

The Prima Pramac rid🎐er added: “I expected us to be a bit m🎶ore calm on the first few laps but as soon as he went to the front he was pushing; not like hell because we couldn't due to the tyres, but he was pushing a lot.

“I tried to be fast bu🐼t good on ♑the tyres but then I had the battle with Brad which wasn’t helping at all.

“I think I could have been a bit faster but𒉰 I♍’m happy. Hopefully we can be faster in Portimao.”

What Martin did do by upping his pace late on was hold of Marc Marquez on his official D💜ucati debut.

The eight-time world champion caught Martinꦦ with a few laps remaining before looking set to challenge the 2023 runner-up for the final podium place.

But unfazed by ❀the pit board which told him number 93 ꦅwas less than two tenths behind, Martin ultimately gapped Marquez.

Speaking about the tense battle, Martin ♓said: “At that point I had him for 10 laps at ൩0.3s. But with two laps to go I said ‘okay, now is time to push a bit more’.

“I was alrea꧃dy at 98% and then I went at 100% to get this po𓃲dium and it was worth it. Let’s see if I can have a bit more margin in Portimao.”
