Numbers don’t lie. With 60 points, one victory, and two podiums, Jorge Martín is having his best start to a season since he arrived in MotoGP in 2021. After two rounds, he leads the championship with 60 points – more than enough reasons to already launch a title bid, not to mention the fact that he was the runner-up in 2023.
Gino Borsoi, team manager of Prima Pramac, confirmed that it is a good start, admitting to the website GPOne.com that last season there were some initial difficulties: ‘Last year we didn’t start badly either, but I believe in that case the problem also came from adapting to the bike, not only from the rider, but also from the team. We had some difficulties understanding what we needed to improve Jorge’s riding with that bike, which we solved halfway through the season‘.
The responsible person believes that there was luck in the new Ducati Desmosedici GP24 working well from the start, which, he emphasized, ‘doesn’t always happen’. But the rider is also important, and Borsoi spoke about Martín’s approach to the new season:
– It was a great job by Ducati, but also by Martín, who focused on physical and mental preparation during the winter, which helped him manage the races well. In fact, in the first four races we reached the podium four times [including Sprint races]: he is Martín 4.0.
