P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Jorge Martin feels consecutive setbacks in Indonesia and Australia probably cost him the MotoGP World Championship to Francesco Bagnaia.
“The Pramac Ducati rider’s strong performance in the second half of the season allowed him to take the lead in the championship at Mandalika. However, a mistake during the race cost him the lead and he ultimately finished in fifth place. Martin acknowledged that the tyre gamble in Australia was another critical error that caused him to lose further ground in the championship. Despite these setbacks, Martin recognized the achievements of his satellite team and the success they had throughout the season. Reflecting on his performance, Martin admitted that the pressure of being in a MotoGP title fight affected him mentally and affected his enjoyment of the races. Looking ahead, he hopes to learn from this experience and be able to enjoy racing from the beginning of next season. Overall, both Martin and Bagnaia had successful seasons with multiple wins, but Bagnaia had a slight edge in terms of race victories and Martin struggled with scoring consistently high points in certain weekends.”
