Today’s race is likely to stay in Jorge Martin’s memory for a long time. After taking the lead in the world championship yesterday, the Pramac rider was leading this Sunday’s long race by almost 3s ahead of Maverick Viñales when he crashed, and explained that the dirt at turn 10 was what led to the crash right afterwards. However, the #89 isn’t giving up on the title battle.

Commenting on his GP Sunday, Martin began by recalling the strong start he had which catapulted him into first place before the first corner: ‘I had a great start and then I tried to increase the gap and then when I saw 2.8s I was very surprised and then I said to myself: “Ok now it’s time to stay calm’.

After being in the lead for 13 laps, Martin crashed and explained what happened and left a guarantee: ‘I went a bit wide at turn 10 and then it seems there was a bit of dirt and when I entered turn 11 I lost the front doing the same as I had done on the previous lap but… shit happens. I was still pushing the pace [at the time of the crash], there were still 14 laps to go and I was focussed on staying fast and I think I had an incredible race up to that point, I was the fastest at all times and so I have to stay calm and there are still 10 races to go, it’s a long way to go’.

Asked if he would choose the soft tyre again for the front, Martin had no doubts: ‘Yes, for sure. I was feeling really good and the problem there was the dirt at turn 10 which caused me to crash, and when I entered turn 11 I crashed’.
