Jorge Martin reveals the key to smashing lap record at Americas MotoGP
Jorge Martin 💖set a new official lap record at COTA to top Friday practice.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales was the pacesetter in FP1 at the Americas MotoGP, however, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin delivered a warning that won’t go away quickly.
Vinales ultimately got within a ♒tenth of Martin’s new lap record, but the championship leader’s time was too fast for anyone else to challenge.
The Pramac rider has been a model of consistency so far in 2024, and d🦄espite COTA not being a favourite track for Martin since he moved up to MotoGP, the Spaniard continued his rich vein of fo🔜rm.
“I’m feeling good,” Martin told MotoGP.com. “I didn’t expect to be this fast today because normally it is a track thatꦺ I⭕ struggle at.
“But I was really 🍸smooth, tryꦚing to control my physical condition because I want to have some energy for Sunday.
“Then, when I did it I did some amazing laps. Tomorrow will be a challenging day because some riders are really fast and they will imꦓprove from today.”
Only five riders managed to lap under the 2m 2s barrier in the๊ Q2-deciding session, but Martin’s time was closer to that of a 2m flat.
Martin set a 2:02.397s which Marc Marquez (third fastest) 🌊and Francesco Bagnaia (fourth) could not get within fourth tenths of.
Martin repeated his intention to become a full factory rider in 2025 during the pre-event press conference, and if performance such as a day-one in COTA continue, Ducati will find it very hard to resist placing the formeღr Moto3 world champion alongside Bagnaia.
Asked what made his new lap record possible, Martin said “The bike is the same so I think the experience is helping. I studied quite a lot 📖for this track and I’m ready.”
