Jorge Martin is 13 points behind reigniꦬng champion and championshಞip leader Francesco Bagnaia with six races (including sprints) left.

Zarco, who won his own maiden premier class race in Australia then finished P10 last weekend in Thailand, has nꦫot felt a change in atmosphere inside the Pramac environment.

Asked about “stress or tension” ℱinsid💙e the box, Zarco replied: “No. I feel the same.

“We are not speak🐈ing together. At 🎃least, I see him very focused.

“He makes it work for him. At the mღoment, it’s working p💝erfectly.

“He’s tryi๊ng to stay on his guard and finish the season like this. It’s the only way to be champion.”

Martin’s title bid took a hit when he made the 𝓡wrong call with his tyre strategy in Australia, when teammate Zarco won. Martin responded by winning in Thailand.

Zarco said: “What he did in Phillip Island was a mistake. He was fast with the medium rear tyre. Here, going with 🔴the hard🌌 was logic.

“At least, being in first position you get less hits from the bike in🉐 front. This is a huge d꧟ifference.

“The fight at the end was very impressive. Also Pecco, the way he🎀 came back.”

“It’s my weak point"

Zarco detailed why he was restricted to P10 l🦋ast weekend i🌠n Buriram.

“Everyone was on super pace,” he said.

“Two mistakes during the race really made me lose the♈ race, or to fight for the top five which was clearly possible.

“My riding style is different. It doesn’t help me to st🎉ay in the group.

“[There are] little margins in the entry. The guys go inside. 🔯If I try t🍸o go inside quickly to overtake, I cannot make the turn.

“It’s my weak💙 point. Everyone was on the same pace.

“I made a mistake on the brake. The tyre was sometimes too hot, you are behind someone, in the slipstream. I lost🌌 position.

“I was pret𝔍ty fast, happy to come from 16t⭕h to 10th.

“But what cost me this problem? Starting in 11th position. If I could have star𒅌ted a🌳t least on the second row…

“I had the pace to be in the top three.

“Maybe you ha🐽ve less peop𒁃le attacking you and, after 15 laps, you feel more comfortable.

“I’m happy for this pace, and the way I controlled the race, but I’m disappointed to have the same problem as alwaysꦰ.

“I cannot bring the bike into the corner, like the others are doing. Sometimes it mov✃es a bit, in the acceleration. I’m fighting a bit too much with the bike.

“It’s the only problem. But it’s repeating.”
