The current “championship of mistakes” between MotoGP protagonists Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin has one primary culprit, according to Bagnaia – although Martin isn’t convinced
Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin are engaged in a fierce battle in the MotoGP championship, with Bagnaia blaming the series of mistakes on the performance of the tires, particularly the front tire supplied by Michelin. Bagnaia believes that the improvements made to the rear tire have created a mismatch that is causing issues for both him and Martin during braking and cornering. Despite acknowledging the importance of the points swing in the Indonesian Grand Prix sprint, Bagnaia refrains from making definitive statements until the race is over. Martin, on the other hand, while laughing off the ‘championship of mistakes’ label, is not fully convinced by Bagnaia’s tire theory and believes his crash was not a result of pushing the limit. With a psychological factor also at play, the championship battle remains intense with four contenders vying for the title with 11 races remaining. Ultimately, both riders are cautious in drawing major conclusions from the recent crash incidents.
