P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Luca Marini outlines how the ‘amazing job’ being done by MotoGP title contender Jorge Martin appears on the shared Ducati data.
Last season, Francesco Bagnaia had a strong performance, finishing on the podium in eight out of nine races, including five wins. He managed to overtake Fabio Quartararo and win the 2022 title. However, this season, Bagnaia is facing tough competition from Jorge Martin, his rival for the 2023 championship. Martin has been impressive, with ten podiums, including eight wins, in the last twelve races. He is currently only 13 points behind Bagnaia with three rounds remaining. Ducati’s open data sharing policy allows all Desmosedici competitors to analyze Martin’s strengths and weaknesses and see where he is excelling. According to Luca Marini, Martin’s success is not just due to a specific riding technique or technical setting. Instead, it is his high level of confidence that allows him to push the limits. Marini believes that Martin has found a bike balance that works well for him at every circuit, which has contributed to his exceptional performance. Despite not having a factory bike and the latest upgrades, Marini emphasizes that he and his team are doing a great job and can still achieve podium finishes. Marini himself has been performing well, with top-three finishes in the last two Sprint races.
