Jorge Martín ended a very positive period of his MotoGP season with a crash in the Indonesian GP race while leading comfortably. As a result, he relinquished the championship lead to Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).
The manager of some riders of the field, Carlo Pernat, told GPOne.com that the Prima Pramac Spanish rider may have shown signs of pressure but also noted that the tire choices he made might not have been the most appropriate:
– They said Bagnaia was under pressure, but apparently Martín was the rider under pressure. His crash was very stupid. I think the wrong tyre choice also played a role in this mistake. A lot of riders chose the wrong ones. It was a race for the hard compound, most chose the medium, those with the soft had problems.
