Jorge Lorenzo spoke to DAZN about the Le Mans GP. The former Spanish driver commented on Sunday’s race and highlighted Jorge Martín’s performance throughout the race.
The Prima Pramac Racing rider was coming off a crash in Jerez and a mistake at this Le Mans GP could have cost him the championship lead. Lorenzo underlined the importance of Martín staying on track and managing his race pace very well.
– From Qatar to Le Mans, all the races were spectacular, full of emotions. And in Jerez, only Martín’s crash prevented the trio from fighting until the end. But this time all three remained in the saddle and we managed to have the best riders, with the best bike, fighting and giving everything until the end. In the end, Jorge won, but Bagnaia or Marc could have won perfectly well.
He continued by saying how important it was that Martín had not made any mistakes: ‘A second crash in a row for Martín and losing a big lead would have been a big blow. Staying calm was very difficult and he did it perfectly. Congratulations to Jorge today, which was, of all the races, perhaps the most difficult for him psychologically.’
