Jorge Martín crowned himself the great MotoGP world champion in 2024, but in his campaign there was one particular element that became evident, especially when compared to the second-place finisher, Pecco Bagnaia: victories in Sunday races. This is indeed an aspect that #89 admitted he needs to work on.
With seven Sprint race victories and “only” three wins in the long races on Sundays, Martín admitted that in view of continuous improvement in his performance, improving on Sundays is particularly a priority, while not forgetting that he crashed twice while leading, in conversation with the championship’s official website:
– Of course I have to improve because, although I was very consistent, I only won three times on Sunday. I crashed twice when I was leading and I have to improve, there’s always room for that and that’s what I’m going to try to do.
Consistency in results was key, as well as the growth and maturity he showed throughout the season, to thus reach the title, especially against Bagnaia who, with 11 victories in long races, dubbed 2024 as the ‘championship of errors’.
