Jorge Martin reveals the key to smashing lap record at Americas MotoGP
Jorge Martin set a new official lap ꦫr𝔍ecord at COTA to top Friday practice.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales was the pacesetter in FP1 at the Americas MotoGP, however, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin delivered a warning that won’t go away quickly.
Vinales ultimately got within a tenth of Martin’s new lap record, but the championship leader’s time was too f🐓ast for anyone else to challenge.
The Pramac rider has been a model of consistency so far in 2024, and despite COTA n⛎ot being a favourite track for Martin since he moved up 🃏to MotoGP, the Spaniard continued his rich vein of form.
“I’m feeling good,” Martin told MotoGP.com. “I didn’t expect to be this fast today because normally it is a track that🍃 I struggle at.
“But I was really smooth, trying to control my physical c💖ondition because I want to have some energy for Sunday.
“Then, when I did it I did some amazing laps. Tomor✃row will be a challenging day because some riders are really fast and they will improve from toಌday.”
Only five riders 🃏managed to lap under the 2m 2s ba🌳rrier in the Q2-deciding session, but Martin’s time was closer to that of a 2m flat.
Martin set a 2:02.397s which 🅺Marc Marquez (third fastest) and Francesco Bagnaia (fourth) could not get within fourth tenths of.
Martin repeated his intention to become a full factory riꦫder in 2025 during the pre-event press conference, and if performance such as a day-one in COTA꧑ continue, Ducati will find it very hard to resist placing the former Moto3 world champion alongside Bagnaia.
As꧃ked what made his new lap record possible,💮 Martin said “The bike is the same so I think the experience is helping. I studied quite a lot for this track and I’m ready.”
