Jorge Martin reveals the key to smashing lap record at Americas MotoGP
Jorge Mart♕in 🌺set a new official lap record 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 tent𝕴h of Martin’s new lap record, but the championship leader’s time was too fa🌳st for anyone else to challenge.
The Pramac rider has been a model of consistency so far in 2024, and despite COTA not being a favourite track for Martin since he moved up to MotoGP, the Spaniaღrd continued his rich vein of form.
“𓆏I’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 condition bec🐼ause I want to have some energy for Sunday.
“Then, when I did i❀t I did some amazing laps. Tomorrow will be a challenging day because some riders are really fast and they wi🌟ll improve from today.”
Only five riders managed to lap under the 2m 2s barrier in thꩵe Q2-deciding session, but Martin’s time was closer to that of a 2m flat.
Martin set a 2:02.3🌊97s 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 rider in 2025 during the pre-event press conference, and if performan🔯ce such as a day-one in COTA continue, Ducati will find it very hard to resist placing the former Moto3 world champion alongside Bagnaia.
Asked what made his new lap record possible, Martin said “The bike is the same so I think the✱ experience is helping. 𓂃I studied quite a lot for this track and I’m ready.”
