Jorge Martin: “I didn’t want to go back to MotoGP” after title heartbreak
“I h꧂ad a lot of fears. I didn’t know if I was able to be as fast"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin has described his much-changed psyche since losing out on the MotoGP championship.
The Pramac Ducati rider has a 10-point advantage at the top of the standings hea𒆙ding into this wee🍌kend’s Australian MotoGP.
R💜eigning champion Pecco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquez trail him.
Martin is desperate n⭕ot to lose out on the title, as ཧhe did last season at the final round.
“In February after the break, when we started again, I didn’🧸t want to go back to the MotoGP bike,” Martin admitted.
“I had a lot of fears. I didn’t💫 know if I was able to be as fast as before.
“Then I jumped on the bike. I understood it was the same. I was fast again, I could fight agꦜain.
“My target now is to fight and to give 100%.”
It has been a title fight with multiple e🐻rrors between Martin and Bagnaia.
But with four rounds remaining Martin insists🌱 he is the best rider in t🤪he class.
“I am stronger. I am a bit better in almost every area,” he c💝laimed.
ﷺ“I don’t feel that I’m faster. Maybe last year I was faster, I had more speed than the rest.
“At🏅 this point, we are close with Pecco, Enea and Marc. We are simila🔥r.
“But I am stronger because there are either points where I am a💙 bit better.🔜”
This is why Martin has improved
Martin revealed his key to improving since last year: “We impꦍroved a lot on the mental sideܫ.
“Last season was difficult, I couldn’t manage the pressure. I stru🌳ggled a lot to han🦩dle it, I didn’t know how to do it. I would go to sleep in races.
“I said, okay I need help to approach the weekends and𝔉 the pressure. I said okay, I need to do it.
“This year I 🦂started to work on my mental side, to have the tools to man👍age the situation.
“To understand how to approach the weekends, and how to approach after a b🌟ad res𝓰ult also.
“This was the key to this season.
“To ꩵbe more present was important. I was thinking too much, last season. Trying to imagine what could h♈appen. But this is not the way.
“Last season I 🐲was too obsessed with the result, trying to w🔯in, win, win…
“Maybe this is not the way that helps me.
“Now I try to focus more on myself, I🌞 try to learn from every situation.
“It’s not all about wins. If I can win, perfect. If not, it’s okay, I can live with that. It was🐷 the main lesson I🧔 got from last season.
“ܫThis season, I slee𒁃p perfectly! We did a good job!”
Martin believes he will cop🔯e with the tensiꦿon of the next four rounds.
“There is pressure but I am o🧸kay with it,” he said.
“Pressure is a privilege. Not everyonꦛe has it. We are i♛n front, battling for big things.
“When you are behind, it’s easier because you just have to push. When you are in front, it’s more difficult because you🌞 have to think more🎀.
“My strategy this year - even if I am in front, think like I am behind.💯 Push, push, push…
“Give 100% and don’t think a💙bout the rest, or what I cannot control.”
🌱Martin said about b🀅ecoming champion: “It’s a big dream, it would mean a lot.
“I know I can win. It’s 50-50.
“If I don’t win it, I will try again next season.
“𒁏I will fight for the possibility to decide if I have the #1.”
