Jorge Martin took advantage early in the MotoGP sprint race with a race-changing overtake on lap four. It was a risk which brought him a hard earn♒ed sprint win, but almost saw him off his Pr🦋amac Ducati and in the gravel.

Jorge Martin m꧃ade his way to first from sixth on the grid, then pulled out all the stops to win.

It all came down to him taking the door left open as Jack Miller struggled to move his KTM cleanly through turn eleven, with Francesco Bagnaia also aware and up for a✅n overtake.

As he made his move on the red bike, Martin saw his opportunity, and went aroღund the du𝄹o, but the move was not without risk:

“I didn’t expect to make the move on both, I saw Pecco was going to make the move also but they were coming so fast so I said, Okay, let's try - I almost lose the front, it was quite, q꧅uite close to a crash! - I go in and mana🌳ge the situation, stay on the bike and from that point I started to put my pace on the track.

"Then another big mꦬoment, on corner seven… but I could stay on the bike and manage💟d the speed until the end”.

T💦hat second scare came at turn twelve, while there was one more wobble to come shortly after for the #89 as he fought bike, track and his rivals for th𒉰e all-important advantage on track. He went on to manage that to the line and win by a gap of 2.468s after a close start.

“If you want to win the sprint race you have to take a b𝓀it of risk, if you want to make the difference, no? So I took the risk, I could have crashed also but I won, so this is important”.

Important enough to move the Spaniard to second in the overall🐠 standings after the sprint race on Saturday. Bagnaia came into the round with a 21 point lead, and that hasn’t changed - but it is now over a c꧙atching Martin instead of Marco Bezzecchi, who placed seventh.

Martin seems 🔴to ha♛ve a knack for the sprint race, the German round is his fifth sprint podium in the seven races held so far and his second win.

Mar✱tin recognises that and has recently expressed that he believes he is currently in his best MotoGP form to date, which he aim🍬s to translate to podium success:

“Now my target is to win Sunday, that’s for sure, but even though I prefer to make a podium or points and not to crash, I’m not thinking about the championship at this poi♍nt just trying to be fast every weekend, at the moment we are doing it”.
