Jorge Martín once again finished a Sprint race in the podium places and even better for him, despite not winning, he was ahead of Pecco Bagnaia, and he didn’t forget it at the end of the race.
In parc fermé the Pramac rider, who continues to close the gap in the championship to leader Bagnaia, reacted to his performance in the first race at Sepang like this:
– It was an incredible race, the pace was exceptional and I think all the riders were on the limit. I made a bad start and from then on I tried to recover positions. I tried to do some management in the first two laps and after that I got back into my rhythm and finally, even though I wasn’t able to win I’m very happy because I came second ahead of my first opponent [in the championship, Francesco Bagnaia]. I’m happy with the performance and I hope we can fight for the win tomorrow.
