Martin ‘doesn’t have to get obsessed’ with beating MotoGP title rival Bagnaia
“The Pramac rider secured his fifth consecutive victory in the sprint race, converting his pole position into another win and reducing Bagnaia’s championship lead to 18 points. Bagnaia, who started in sixth place, could only manage seventh in the sprint race and attributed it to lost time at the start and being stuck behind a battle between Zarco and Marquez. Martin’s win comes just a week after losing the Australian GP due to a failed tire gamble and a previous crash in the Indonesian GP. Martin emphasized the importance of not getting too obsessed with Bagnaia and stated that it was necessary for him to take risks to recover points. He acknowledged that it was difficult for him to predict his position in the sprint race due to the condition of his tires during practice sessions, but ultimately felt competitive and expects to be more cautious in the early laps of the next race to preserve his tires.”
