Jorge Martin details ‘shoulder down’ at Catalunya MotoGP that brought back memories of Jorge Lorenzo
The Pramac Racing rider delighted the cameras who caught him pulling off the sensational move, at the corner of the Barcelona circuit where 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Lorenzo and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo had done similarly.
Asked if his technique was just to show-off, Martin smiled: “If I do the corner perfectly on the insid💧e-line, I just touch.
“But, for sure, I tried a bit! Because we all know that Corn𓂃er 5 is quite 𓆉funny so I tried a bit more!”
Pictures of Lorenzo and Quartararo doing the same on Corner 5 in previoꦅus years at the Catalunya MotoGP are below.
Martin was only 10th-fastest on Friday, an ominous sign as he tries to⭕ chase down championship-leader Francesco Bagnaia, who was third-quickest.
“We tried many different tyres, I ꦿtried all of them, on either ൩the front or rear,” he explained.
“I expected better. In terms of pace I feel comfortable✱ but in terms of time attack I struggled to use the rear grip. I had to manage the tyre a lot. It was complicated to put everything together.
“We were on the limit, one second from Aleix. Something was not working well, we need to find out t☂his evening to improve tomorrow.”
Martin suggested that tweaks to hi꧟s Pramac were not benefitting him: “At this point I feel like it’s something on the set-up. I don’t understand because I pushed harder than before.
“As soon as I try the grip to accelerate, I don’t have grip. We lost in terms of time attack. But in the race, I am super strong🥂🔴.
“🐓Maybe we need two set-ups, I don’t know. We need to improve th♏is weak point.
“If I want to finish the [time attack] with a 𝕴good tyre, I have to manage it on Corner 3 and 4. If I use, and overheat on those laps, on the fi🔯rst lap of the tyre. I feel that something isn’t working well, I don’t know if it’s my bike or my style.”
