Qatar MotoGP: Jorge Martin: “It’s a big relief to win, can’t wait to watch the race”

Martin appeared completely lost during Friday practice, showing the type of frustration we’ve no⛎t seen all season.
But theไ Pramac Duc𒁃ati rider bounced back in fantastic fashion as he overtook title rival Francesco Bagnaia on two occasions.
- Marini: “After 🧜four laps the rear tyre was finished, worried about tomorrow"
- Miguel Oliveira, Aleix Espargaro su🍒ffer fractures in Qatar Sprint
That was before quick moves on ✱Alex Marquez and Luca Marini before going to win ahead of Fabio Di Giannantonio.
Martin told MotoGP.com: “I’m super pleased. It’⛄s a big relief to win after such a difficult day yesterday.
“This morning I felt like somethin♔g was still wrong but then we found something and the right tyres which we normally make a big mistake with.
“So this was good and the team did an amazing job. We used our experience with the temperatures to be fast and I was actually really confident going into the race that I could⛄ win it.
“When I made this small mistake at turn four I struggled to keep calm 🅘but I saw that I was faster than them and tried🔜 to just put my pace on the track.”
One of the reasons for Martin’s struggles on Friday was the lack of grip he was fa♚cing, however, the Spaniard knew that tra🐼ck conditions had a role to play in that.
“It was a big combination of things,” stated Martin. “The bike wasn’t working well but 🌜when the track is so dirty you cannot make any mistakes.
“In another track you can ride and maybe you are two or three tenths slower, 🐲but when you are on these tracks with a small line I was♏ losing a lot of laps.
“I was really frustrated but I knew somethin🦋g wasn’t okay. Today went well and we could see my potential.”
Martin’s win means h꧟e’s just seven points off B𒀰agnaia in the championship with three races to go.
Excited to re-watch his latest victory, Martin said: “I can’t wait to watch the race [back]. I had a lot of doubt about the start going into the race because I didn’t make a good start in the practices൩; I was spinning and thinking I would be 20th on the first lap if I did the same. But I was able to do a great start.”
