Jorge Martin reveals the key to smashing lap record at Americas MotoGP
Jorgeꦑ Martin set a new official lap record at COTA to top Friday 𓆉practice.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales was the pacesetter in FP1 at the Americas MotoGP, however, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin delivered a warning that won’t go away quickly.
Vinales ultimately got within a tenth of Martin’s new lap record, but the championship leader’s time was too fast for any🍬one els𝓀e to challenge.
The Pramac rider has been a ﷺmodel of consistency so far in 2024, and despite COTA not being a favourite track for Martin since he moved up to MotoGP, the Spaniard continued his rich vein of form.
“I’m ♈feeling good,” Martin told MotoGP.com. “I didn’t expect to be this fast today b✤ecause normally it is a track that I struggle at.
“But I was really smooth, trying to control my physical c🔯ondition because I want to have some energy for Sunday.
“Then, when I did it I did some amaz🥃ing laps.ཧ Tomorrow will be a challenging day because some riders are really fast and they will improve from today.”
𒉰Only five riders managed to lap under the 2m 2s barrier in the Q2-deciding session, but Martin’🤡s time was closer to that of a 2m flat.
Martin set a 2:02.397s which Marc Marque𓃲z (third fastest) and Francesco Bagnaia (fourth) co🌠uld not get within fourth tenths of.
Martin repeated his intention to become a full factory rider in 2025 during the pre-event press conference, and if performance such as a day-one in COTA co🎉ntinue, Ducati will find it very hard to resist placing the former Moto3 world champion alꦆongside Bagnaia.
Asked what made his ไnew lap record possible, Martin said “The bike is the same so I think the experience is helping. I studied quit📖e a lot for this track and I’m ready.”
