Martin: Japanese GP success ‘doesn’t feel like a victory’
After a mistake that caused him to drop to sixth place, the Pramac Ducati rider regained the lead in the MotoGP race at Motegi. He maintained a comfortable lead over his title rival, Francesco Bagnaia, before the race was red-flagged due to worsening track conditions. With the shortened race, Martin was awarded full points and now trails Bagnaia by just three points in the championship. Martin credited his success to good acceleration and the ability to overtake in Turn 9 despite struggling with the front of his bike. He also revealed that he let Bagnaia and Jack Miller pass him on the first lap to determine the best time to pit for wet tires.
