Joꦦrge Martin is 13 points behind reigning champion and championship leader Francesco Bagnaia with six races (including sprints) left.

Zarco, who won his own maiden premier class race in Australia then finished P10 last weekend in Thail🥂and, has not felt a change in atmosphere inside the Pramac environment.

Ask𒅌ed about “stress or tension” inside 🌺the box, Zarco replied: “No. I feel the same.

“We are not 🔯speaking together. At least, I see him very focused.

“He ma💞kes it work for him. ൲At the moment, it’s working perfectly.

“𒊎He’s trying to stay on his guard and finish the season like this. It’s the only way to be champion.”

Martin’s title bid took a hit when he made the wrong call with his tyre strategy in Australi꧙a, when teammate Zarco won. Martin responded by winning in Thailand.

Zarco said: “What he did in Phillip Island was a mistake✤. He was fast with the medium rear tyre. Here, going with the hard was logic.

“At least, being in first position you get less hi🍨ts from the bike in front. This is a huge difference.

“The fight at the en🦩d was very impressive. Also Pecco, the way he came ba꧋ck.”

“It’s my weak point"

𒁏Zarco detailed why he was restricted to P10 last week🍸end in Buriram.

“Everyone was on super pace,” he said.

“Two mistakes during the race really made me los♐e the race, or to fight for the top five which was clearly possible.

“My riding style i💃s different. It doesn’t help me to stay in the g💯roup.

“[There are] little margins in the entry. T๊he guys go inside. If I try to go inside quickly to overtake, I cannot make the turn.

“It’s my weak point. Ev🐽eryone was on the same pace.

“I made a mistake on the brake. The tyre was sometimes too hot, you are behind someone, i🔯n the slipstream. I lost position.

“I was pretty fast, happy to come fromꦇ 16th to 10th.

“But what cost me this problem? Starting in 11th position. If I could have started at least on the second r💝ow…

“I had the pace to be in the top three.

“Maybe you have less people attacking you and, after 15 laps, you feel more comfo꧟rtable.

“I’m happy for this pace, and the way I controlled the race, but I’꧂m disappointed to have the same problem as always.

“I cannot bring the bike i꧋nto the corner, like the others are doing. Sometimes it moves a bit, in the acceleration. I’m fighting a bit too much with t☂he bike.

“It’s the only problem. But it’s repeating.”
