Test data offered Jorge Martin a boost despite crash
Jorge Martin explains what went right on Friday

MotoGP championship leader Jorge Martin says hi꧂s Pramac teaꦛm “worked really clever” in Emilia Romagna Grand Prix practice and was able to use test data to improve his form.
The Spaniard🍸 came to the second Misano round just seven points clear of Francesco Bagnaia, after a strategy gamble in the 🎀flag-to-flag San Marino GP backfired.
Ma🔥rtin ended Friday at the Emilia Romagna GP second behind Bagnaia despite suffering a small crash at the end of Practice. He was one of eight riders who fell in a crash-strewn second practice.
As well as showing better one-lap pace compared to t💯he San Marino GP weekend, Martin also strengthened 📖his long run form and credits data from the Misano test last Monday for the step forward.
“Well, I imp🍨roved my personal best here, so I thin🍬k it’s quite an optimistic thing here already,” Martin said.
“I’m feeling good in ter🦂ms of pace, in terms of riding. I think we worked really clever today. I think we are in the good wa🥀y and let’s see if tomorrow we can improve qualifying a bit.
“For s🐟ure, the morning it was important to not crash because it was easy to crash.
“And in th𒆙e afternoon we just used quite well the information we got from the test to impro꧅ve the bike and the set-up.
“So, this was my 🐭main go🅘al to improve with the soft and we also improved with the medium. So, overall it was a good day.”
Having struggled to fourth on the grid at the San Marino GP, improving his qualifyingไ form was Martin’s “main target”, which he feels he has successfully done.
Despite starting fourth last time out, Martin was able to leap 🅠into the lead at the first corner in the sprint and head every l♕ap to take the win.
“Improving my qualifying wa🎶s my main target,” he added.
“It seems like we improved the performance here in Misano. With this level🦄 of gripᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ, I struggled to use my biggest potential. So, now it seems we closed the gap to my 100%.”
