After the abandonment at the MotoGP Spanish GP, Jorge Martín reacted quickly… and strongly. At the French GP, the Prima Pramac rider took pole position with a record lap, won the Sprint race, and won the main race.
Thus, he achieved his second victory of the year in a Grand Prix and third in a Sprint race, taking a 38-point lead in the championship – more than what is usually achieved in a single round.
It’s been a strong and solid start for the Spanish rider from Prima Pramac, leaving no doubts that he is once again a title contender – after finishing as runner-up last year.
Ramón Forcada talked about Martín on the Dura La Vita podcast, noting clear progress compared to last year: ‘Jorge Martín last year was nervous, under pressure. This year it’s not like that anymore, he has gained that experience he didn’t have before. Besides, he enjoys himself. He’s in another galaxy‘.
