Jorge Martin thinks his Valencia MotoGP will be “easier” because of his penalty.
Jorge Martin is facing the end of his tumultuous MotoGP title defense season in Valencia this weekend, where he will receive a double long lap penalty in Sunday’s grand prix. Martin views this penalty as beneficial, as it will keep him out of the pack and allow him to focus on improving his performance. During the Sprint in Valencia, Martin found himself getting too involved in early race battles, which he didn’t feel prepared for. Despite his penalty, Martin believes that Sunday’s race will be easier for him as he can ride alone and focus on understanding how to improve his pace on the bike. The physical toll of the Sprint was significant for Martin, prompting him to consider ending Sunday’s race early to ensure he is in better condition for the upcoming test on Tuesday.
