The Spaniard comments on his Grand Prix at Mugello: “Before the race I would have signed for this result, now third position is bitter”
June 2, 2024
TOSky microphones, Jorge Martin does not hide his disappointment, despite the podium behind the two official Ducatis coming after a difficult weekend and with a zero in yesterday’s Sprint.
On the result of the race…
“Before the race I would have signed for this result, but in the race I was 2 tenths behind Pecco, I saw the victory there, I saw that I was close and that I had speed, that I was back: from there I moved into third position in two laps. I made a mistake as a rookie, but it won’t happen again this season”
On the improvements compared to yesterday…
“Yesterday I was very behind with the set-up and the front tyre, today I saw Pecco suffer in managing the front, he had a little more as always at Mugello, but less than last year: this motivates me for the next race, we have made a big step by completely changing the bike, we’ll see in Assen”
On Enea’s overtaking and “the rookie mistake”…
“I made a very open line, I didn’t think there was anyone behind me, I had read the gap on the board, and instead there was Enea: next time I will close the corner even if I’m alone, leaving a second position like this is not nice. The last laps were very nice anyway.”
On second position, then escaped…
“Riding behind Pecco I learned the lines: I fixed the points where I was struggling the most, Pecco was also struggling and I was thinking of catching him. I didn’t think I’d be there at the start and instead we made a big step forward compared to last year and I have improved a lot in my driving style”
