Jorge Martin reveals the key to smashing lap record at Americas MotoGP
Jorge Martin set a newꦛ offi༺cial lap record at COTA to top Friday practice.
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 ten♛th of Martin’s new lap record, but the championship leader’s time was too fast for anyone else t🅷o challenge.
The Pramac rider has༒ been a model of consistency so far in 2024, and despite CO🐈TA 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 because normally it is a track🅺 that I struggle at.
“But I was really smooth, trying to control my physical condition because I want to have ⛄some ene🦩rgy for Sunday.
“Then, when I did it I did some amazing laps. Tomorrow will be a challeng🐼ing day because some riders are really fast a♚nd they will improve from today.”
Only 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 Marquez (third fastest) and Francesco 🔥Bagnaia (fourth) could not get within fourth tenths of.
Martin repeated hi🌱s intention to become a full factory rider in 2025 during the pre-event press conference, and if perꦚformance such as a day-one in COTA continue, Ducati will find it very hard to resist placing the former Moto3 world champion alongside Bagnaia.
Asked what made hisꦉ new lap record possible, Martin said “The bike is the same so I think the experience is helpi⛦ng. I studied quite a lot for this track and I’m ready.”
