Pramac’s Jorge Martin believes✱ ending his 2024 Sunday win drought at the Aragon Grand Prix will be “complicated” given his record at the Spanish venue.

Martin comes i🐼nto this weekend’s round at Aragon chasing a third grand prix win of the season and a first since May’s French GP at Le Mans.

Despite winning seven grands prix so far in 20🏅24, France൲sco Bagnaia has only been able to stretch out a five-point advantage over his Ducati rival Martin in the championship.

Compared to ꦺthe o🔥ther leading Ducati riders in the standings right now, Martin hasn’t won at Aragon in the premier class and hasn’t even managed a podium - with his best result a sixth in 2022.

Martin’s only win at Aragon came in his title-winni🌳ng 2018 Moto3 season and admits changing this wil💃l be difficult.

“Let’s see. For sure, iౠt’s been a long time… well, not a super-long time [but] since Le Mans,” Martin said if he was confiden꧒t of ending his 2024 Sunday win drought.

“Sachsenring I was close butꦡ I crashed. I feel strong, I feel I always have the ꦦpotential for a victory.

“Last two weekends I was more maybe conservative, trying to get points, and also Pecco was on an🌊 amazing level in Austria.

“So, it 𒊎was really difficult. But here it’𒀰s complicated.

“I mean, these three guys [around me in the championship] have wo🌳n in the past in MotoGP here.

“I have only won in Moto3. So, I’m the one missing. Hopefully I can close ꦡit here.”

While the championship battle remains tight between B♉agnaia and Marti𒆙n, the former held a clear advantage last time out in Austria as he dominated both races.

Martin doesn⛎’t believe Bagnaia has any “weak points” now, especially since he’s improved on his sprint form in recent rounds.

“It’s really difficult,” he said of his b🅘attle with Bagnaia.

“I thi🎃nk Pecco is on a really good level. He improved a lot his, not weak points because he doesn’t have any weak points, but maybe his less strong point compare🉐d to me.

“I think he improve it, so I’🍌m missing to improve the one I need t꧙o.

“It’s diꦫfficult. I hope to enjoy this battle to the end. I hope to have the chance untiꦉl the end. Let’s see what happens.”

While Mar⛄tin didn't expand on the area he needs to improve relative to Bagnaia, the latter has been stronger on full fuel loads at the start of races compared to the Pramac rider recently.

This proved to be a key fa𝔉ctꦇor in Bagnaia winning the Austrian GP.
