P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Marc Marquez noticed that Jorge Martin wasn’t his “usual” self at the Qatar MotoGP but hesitated to speculate why.
Pramac’s Martin blamed Michelin tires for his poor race, but Michelin denied that their tires were the cause. Marquez struggled to keep up with the pace of the leaders and was constantly behind Martin throughout the race. Martin’s performance was not up to his usual standard, as he was suffering and lacked speed compared to the Ducatis. It is unclear whether the issue was with the tire or something else, but Martin’s poor race has cost him valuable points in the championship. Bagnaia remains the favorite to win the title in the season finale in Valencia.
