There are two rounds left in the MotoGP season, and Jorge Martín is just 14 points behind Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) in the championship lead. The Prima Pramac rider already knows he won’t finish below the second place he currently holds, so he won’t hesitate to take risks at this weekend’s Qatar GP.
In a press conference, the Spaniard said: ‘Well, I don’t know the math exactly, I just know I need to recover points, so that’s my goal. I’m already second in the championship if I don’t do well in the next two races. I just need to attack and recover as many points as possible in this round’.
Yesterday, Martín participated in an event with Nasser Al-Attiyah, who admitted that it was good to disconnect for a moment from the championship. However, he emphasized his focus and determination to reach the top of the standings: ‘It is true that it helps to disconnect a little. I felt that maybe in Malaysia I was driving a bit too blocked on Sunday, I felt like I was falling in every corner and this did not help me to be fast and smooth. Already only second, I can only change that position to first, so I will take every risk I can and maybe make some bets to try to do it‘.
