Martin, who struggled on Friday, made big steps forward in FP2 be𝓀fore narrowly missin𝐆g out on pole to Bagnaia.

Although Bagnaia appears to ha🍌ve the advantage💃 heading into the sprint later on, Martin confessed he’s ready to challenge the factory Ducati star.

Asked if it was import🌼ant to post a fast lap and remind everyone that Bagnaia won’t have it all his own way, Martin told MotoGP pit lane reporter Jack Appleyard: “I don’t need to remind anyone! I’m just focused on myself.

“Real🧜ly hapღpy because yesterday we were struggling a lot but today we made a big step.

“Yesterday we were two steps from Pཧecco but today just one. I’m super happy. I was really close to the pole position.

“The lap was on the limit but I’m super h﷽appy and proud of mys💯elf and the team for the step we made today. The pace is fast.

“Pecco will try to make a really fast r⭕ace but we will be read𓄧y for that.”

Bagnaia had not bee💦n on pole in MotoGP since last November, smashing the all-time lap record around Assen in the process.

Elated to secure pole, Bagnaia is ready to make another stateme🐼nt in the sprint after topping every session so far this weekend.

“Absolutely! I was struggling a lot to find the limi༺t to do a pole position,” said Bagnaia. “I was always struggling a bit but in the last few races I was always a bit closer.

“Finally, the pole position today in front of this crowd is always fantastic. Let’s try to do the same this afternoon, try to be 🍬leading and open a bit of a gap.”
