MotoGP championship leader ꩲJorge Martin says he is 𒐪“really impressed” by the pace he showed in Friday practice at the 2024 Indonesian Grand Prix.

The Pramac rider ended the day second-fastest and just 0.040 seconds sh🐻y of Enea Bastianini’s new lap record, having himself also dipped underneath the old track best with a 1m29.670s.

Both Martin - who leads the championship ☂by 24 points - and Bastianini look to be a step ahead of the rest on long run pace, which has impressed the Pramac rider.

“So, the day was really good,” he told the media, includin🔯g wuqian0821.com, at Mandalika.

“I’m super happy.🐷 Straight away in the first run I was fast, and then I was fast all day.

“So, yeah, I am very happy.🃏 💟I feel maybe I miss a little bit in time attack.

“But in⛎ the second stint there was a lot of traffic, so maybe I could have improved.

“But with the pace I’m really impressed with how fast we are going. And it seems Enea is also competitiﷺve at the moment. But ♔let’s see tomorrow.”

Martin feels in q🌄ualifying trim the🍸re are some gains to be made in “two corners” but feels like his speed is “coming really naturally”.

“Not any particular se🌞ctor,” he added when asked if there was anywhere on the track h🐓e can improve.

“I feel strong. There are two cornerꦿs where I had some issues in time attack that I can maybe improve tomorrow.

“But I reꦜally enjoyed riding here, I really like it and it’s coming really naturally. So, really﷽ happy.”

Martin spots issue with aero

Both Martin and 🍌Bastianini are running aero parts on their Ducatis that Francesco Bagnaia is not this weekend.

The Spaniard believes the update offerﷺs stronger corner-entry on the G🧔P24, but takes away some of the bike’s turning.

“I like 🐻it. It feels like it’s turning a bit worse, but maybe what I feel is I can enter a bit faster int🌟o the corners, like I can carry a bit more speed into the corner,” he noted.

“So, for sure 🤡it’s not better or worse - it’s different.

“I felt iꦍn Misan💛o it was good and at some point, I don’t want to go backwards and forwards, so I said ‘Ok, we put it on and then we don’t go back to the old one’.

“I do🅰n’t feel more feeling with it. It’s just I can go faster into the corne🎐rs.

“Then I struggle to stop it maybe in the last bit of brakes, it seems it loseཧs a bit the front more than the other fairing.

“But, in terms of speed it’s maybe a bit faster. So, that’s why I keep it. But it’s not about feeling, it’s about the 🐼time.”&nb💫sp;
