MotoGP title leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin has warned that his double vict🦩ory at Le Mans could🥀 also have been the turning point in the 2024 season.

That’s 🔴because the French round was the first event of this year where the Pramac Ducati rider could ride naturally, without having to work aroun🔜d chatter (vibration) issues.

"Yes, we had a few problems with some vibrations in the firsꦰt races, but finally in France I found the sensations of last year,” Mar𝕴tin told . “Now I know the bike and I know where we can go by working more on the details and not on the problems.

“I think thi🤡s was the turn﷽ing point of the season."

Mar♛tin heads to this weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP with a 38-point title lead, meaning he cannot be toppled from the head of the standings whatever happens in Barcelona.

But he insists: “I want to make the most of every moment and have fun, not just think about the [title] victory. Obviously, if at the end of the year there is th🍸e possibility of winning the world championship, [I’ll think about it] but not now.”

While the title battle might well go down to Valencia in November once again, a b💃ig off-track decision is looming over Martin’s future. Will he finally get the coveted factory team seat alongside Francesco Bagnaia or look elsewhere for 2025?

“Everything🌜 should be decided within thesꦚe two races. But I don't think that much will change for me: in Barcelona or at Mugello you will always see the same rider on the track,” he said.

I think all the riders want to get to a factory team and I think it's the right time for me to do🎐 it. It would be a bit like closing a circle..."

Whichever (factory) team Martin joins next season, he has one morꦿe chance to avenge last year’s title defeat and make history as MotoGP’s first satellite world champion.

"[Winning the title] would fulfil my and my family's lifelong dream and then it 🌞would be making history because no one has ever won it with a satellite team,” Martin acknowledged. 

“It would be incredible, for Paolo [Campinoti] and for th🤡e whole team of which I am very proud..."

"They gave me the opportunity and the ♋confidence that I needed in 2021,” Martin added of his time at the Pramac team🅷, which saw him take a debut MotoGP win in only his sixth race.

“I think this cycle is over and now I have to look forward🐷: my dream [for 2025] is to go to the official Ducati team and win with them. 

"Let's hope that happens.”
