Jorge Martín is back to winning ways, having dominated the sprint race of the MotoGP Thai Grand Prix after starting from pole position. Throughout the race, he tried to manage his tires, pace, and the gap appropriately, ultimately beating Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM) by less than a second.
The championship leader is naturally pleased with the result, as Saturday went according to plan with the pole position and this win:
– My plan was like that for sure. I tried to save more the tyres at the beginning, but to do 1m30s low was complicated. I was trying to pull away, then I saw Brad overtaking Luca [Marini], so I said: «Maybe now it’s time to push a little bit more». And I pushed until 1.9s [of gap] and then I just tried to manage until the end, I just tried to rest a little bit and save some energies for tomorrow.
