With Fr🌠ancesco Bagnaia crashing at tur༒n five after contact with Marc Marquez, which resulted in him failing to score, Martin has now taken over the championship lead for the third time in his career.
“I’m really♚ proud of the work we did all weekend,” began Martin. “I knew that with the medium rear I was going to feel much better.
“ℱI was really committed to take the lead and I knew it was the key today to be in the front. Being in the lead on lap one was t🐷he key to the win.
“I was able to 🍸manage the rear tyre a bit in the first few laps and the small gap.
“Then, as soon as I started to push I saw that🍨 the gap was always the same. But I knew that I had some margin to slowly make the gap bigger and bigger.
“At seventh tenths I was a bit more relaxed and I knew that it was a nice gap to h🎶ave until the end.
“I knew, like in Indonesia, that winning the race by seven ten꧒ths or three seconds was the same, so seven tenths was enougꦰh.”
When asked about the incident between his fellow Ducati riders, Martin claimed to have different thoughts going through his head, the last of those involv🀅ing winning at all costs to gain points in the title race.
“About the incident I saw it on the screen and at that point I thought ‘okay, Jorge yo💧u have to finish 100%’,” added Martin. “I was quite slow for a couple of corners but then ꦬI said to myself that I needed to win.
ꦫ“It doesn’t matter whether I finish, I just had to win. That corner is a bit complicated. It was just racing.”
After encountering chatter🅰 issues durin🅘g pre-season and in Qatar, Martin admitted he felt it a lot less throughout this weekend, and especially the grand prix.
Instead it’s the sprints where h🎃e’s feeling the problem ♔more: “We need to understand why but we suffer much more when we push at the beginning than when we can be smooth in the first laps.
“Today, in the first laps I was quite smooth and we were fast. I was really relaxed. When I started pushing I had that t🌺hought in my mind t♛hat the vibrations were arriving.
“But we have to ch♔eck this for Saturday’s because the sprint is now our weak point. We need to be focused on that and try to fix that.”
