Jorge Martin responds ♐to title rival's claims about his sprint race cra🍃sh

Jorge Martin 🤡haꦆd his say on Pecco Bagnaia’s analysis of his Mandalika sprint race crash.
The Pramac Ducati rider claimed pole position in qualfiying bu💝t then shockingly crashed in the early stages of the Saturday race at the Indonesiaꦓn MotoGP.
He remounted and finished 10th but Bagnaia won the race, reducing the deficit to 12 points behind Martin in tཧhe MotoGP standings.
“The first lap I tried to follow Jorge, and I said ‘if he closeﷺs the line, I will take four secon🐻ds, because he is entering too fast’,” Bagnaia said.
“When I sawﷺ it, I followed. As soon as he entered, he lost the front.
“The asphalt was 63 degrees. It was not easy.
“I was thinking that he entered very, very strong. If we close it, we have to f꧂ollow.
“But he crashed. It was tricky. I lost t♔he front during the race twice.”
Martin responded: “It’s really easy foꦺr Pecco to say that I was too fast!
“I hope to🔯 be fast tomorrow and to win by four seconds𓃲.
“The𝔍 plan is to do my best. I have t💟he potential to do it.
“But it’s really easy to speak when everything went gไood…”
Martin insisted he doesn’t know an obvious cause of his crash: “N🐬ot yet. A rollercoaster season…
“I tried to look into it, but I feel that I did nothing wrong. I just cras🐟hꦕed.
2I wan🐲t to take the positives. I was consistent witꦦh clean space, and was able to overtake a lot of riders from last.2
Bagnaia said: “I was trying to give it my all in the first three sectors. I am not the strongest in secto﷽r four.
“I opened the gap to control from the front.”
🦹Bagnaia will swap from soft to medium ꦇtyres for Sunday’s grand prix.
He hasn’t previously gotten on well with the mediums in Manౠdalik﷽a.
But Bagnaia hopes he can change his fortunes: “With the things, we learnꦇed, I think so. It’s too soon to say…”
