The victory in Spain like a liberation, the return to France as a way to close the circle. Why Francesco Bagnaia he relaunched himself in the race for a third world championship in a row. But a Le Mans has always fallen in competition in the last two seasonsalone or for contacts as in 2023 with Viñales.
“STRENGTH”
All this only has the power to burden him, as he reiterated on the eve: «I think one of my strengths is that I don’t care if I crashed or had a bad race the day before because I know perfectly well that if everything is in order I can fight for the victory and recover. What if I can beat Marquez with the same bike? Thinking about hypotheses is always wrong, the races would be the same: the differences between the 2023 and 2024 bikes are small, there are pros and cons. But in Jerez, with the same bike, it would have ended the same way”.
“THE FASTEST”
The market discussion interests him relatively: «In Spain a journalist said that I wouldn’t want Marc Marquez as a partner, but I can assure you that it’s bullshit. I want to beat everyone and be the best. I have no preferences. I’m working well with Enea Bastianini and if the team decides to change we will start from scratch. But whoever it is, I want to be the fastest.” AND Marquez that says? «If you want to fight for the World Championship you must have the most up-to-date material. However, I want to be fast on the track. If I am, there will be more possibilities.”. In the meantime though Jorge Martin always hope: «I’m happy with where I am, but the natural move would be to go to the factory team. I was close in 2022 and then in 2023. My goal is to get there soon, otherwise we’ll see what happens.”
