Explained: The error that Jorge Martin made to crash out of Spanish MotoGP
“If he was on the racing line, on the left, that wouldn’t have ha🐓ppened"
The precise error that caused 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin to crash out of the Spanish MotoGP has been analysed.
Championship leader Martin crashed out of the le🎉ad at Jerez, at the halfway stage, with Francesco Bagnaia directly behind him.
Bagnaia held off Marc Marquez for victory, to further punish Martin’s𝓡 first error of the season.
“[Bagnaia] put the pressure on Jorge,” Sylvain Gu🅺intoli analysed for TNT Sports.
“He was in his slipsꦬtream, on his side a little💃 bit on the straights, on the approach to Turn 6.
“That pressure made Martin make a mistake.
“He was trying to cover and he was going to the right side 🌳of the track, then coming back to the left, that stopped the rear slip. That’s why he crashed.
“Jorge is trying to cover the inside. So he’s going to the right of the💜 track.
“He starts coming back to the left, braking. That means his rear tyre steps out of shape really, really lat🌱e.
“Then recovers the⛄ grip, and that pushes the front and makes him crash.
“If he was on the racing line, on the left, that w♉ouldn’t have happened.
“On the left he would have got rear slip, rear slide, ✃on brakiඣng very early on, then carrying it into the corner.
“He woul𝓰dn’t have inconsistency of rear slip, and no push to the front tyre.
“It was Pecco putting pressure on Jorge, and makingꦉ him make a mist🎐ake.”
Michael Laverty said about Martin: “Heꦜ looked like he was so strong. On the brakes into Turn 6, he was probably the strongest rider out there.
“💎Butཧ he asked too much. The front tyre locked on him.
“Jorge has been the man in control this season. This is hisꦇ first indiscretion.
“He’ll be feeling it tonight. Frustration, more꧅ than anythi💦ng.
“But he can hold his head hi🌜gh. He hasn’t got the MotoGP podium around Jerez but he was certainly fast enough for it𒁏.”
Pramac rider Martin remains at the top o꧋f the MotoGP standings despite a point-less grand prix at Jerez.
He is now 17 points ahead of factory Ducati rider Bagnaia, the reigning champ𝔍ion who edged him to last year’s title.
