Jorge Martin identifies key gap to “another level” team-mate Marco Bezzecchi after Friday practice at the Thai MotoGP.
Jorge Martin felt relieved after securing a direct Qualifying 2 spot with the fifth fastest time in Friday practice at the Thai MotoGP season opener. However, he was trailing behind his Aprilia teammate Marco Bezzecchi, who set a new lap record in Buriram and was described by Martin as being on “another level.” Despite this, Martin acknowledged that time attack is not his strong suit and he needs to adjust his approach to match Bezzecchi’s performance. Martin, who missed the Sepang test due to surgeries, is studying Bezzecchi’s data to improve his braking technique, noting the differences in their styles. Despite the challenges, Martin remains optimistic about his progress and views Friday as a great start, gearing up for the upcoming sessions on Saturday.
