SERHAN ACAR STYLE NEWS: BEZZECCHI'S SHOCKING STATEMENTS FROM MARTIN!
Brünn’s Failures and Strategic Games! Jorge Martin received two drive-through penalties in the Brünn Grand Prix due to start confusion at the Hungarian Grand Prix. For this race, Martin’s priority was to minimize damage and maximize points for his team. This further hampered Martin’s position in Brünn, resulting in him finishing only 10th in qualifying. His teammate Marco Bezzecchi climbed into ninth position in the classification after arriving from parc fermé with the rider having just started the race.
Race Developments and Team Strategies
The race represented a solid start for Martin over 21 laps. He managed to improve his position, taking eighth on the first lap. He then battled with Joan Mir (Honda) to take seventh place. In turn three, Martin received information via his control panel that he needed to complete two drive-through penalties. At this point, Aldeguer had fallen behind him and he was ninth. However, the world champion responded immediately. In fifth gear, Martin took his first long lap penalty, then followed it up by occupying tenth place just ahead of Franco Morbidelli in the following turn. After one more lap, Martin fell to thirteenth position, alongside KTM riders Brad Binder and Maverick Vinales, right behind Enea Bastianini.
Martin’s long lap strategy aimed to avoid a risky situation by returning to the track on green sectors after completing two laps. Despite this strategy, he also received track limits warnings. “It was safe to return without risk for everyone,” said Martin (28).
Bezzecchi’s Crash and Martin’s Analysis
Martin remained with Bastianini for a long time at the end of the race. He overtook the Italian pilot on tenth lap. He was also overtaken by rookie Diogo Moreira (LCR Honda) just a few turns before the end. With Jorge Martin finishing ninth after Pedro Acosta (KTM)’s early withdrawal from the final lap,
Martin commented “We’re completely satisfied” ; “I managed to make some improvements in every practice session.” However, he still felt they were far behind Ducati at this time: “I don't have any problems with controlling the gearbox, but I always feel like something is slipping. We have a problem with my front wheel, we need to understand it. I hope Assen will be good for us. The track is much smoother, which suits my riding style and Aprilia.”
Relationships and Future Plans
Aprilia had still achieved double victory at Mugello Grand Prix; then followed by two disappointing events in Hungary and Czech Republic. Has Ducati become as strong as it was in the last two races weekends? “I think we weren’t at our best at Mugello (Meaningful), but we weren't at our worst either,” said Martin. “We are going to the places where our problems exist; these are more suitable places for us. I hope we return to normal levels. I just said that Ducati was close when we started the season. They simply couldn’t put everything together, and Marc wasn’t at full power. Now that both bikes are similar in level, the game continues and we will have a great championship, which is good for everyone.”
Martin still didn't have the correct basic setting on his RS-GP – he had made progress with an adjustment at Le Mans like other tracks during the nine race weekends of the season; but this adjustment did not work in other tracks. “I would like to do a test, but we couldn’t,” said Martin. “So I will use some Saturday days throughout the season as test days, I will try new things and I will try to regain the feel of the front wheel. When I get it back, I can be back in the front again.”
Jorge Martin was only eight points behind Marco Bezzecchi in the overall standings after the Czech Grand Prix. The sprint race in Brünn and the Grand Prix due to a start ban caused by a crash for Bezzecchi were a disaster. Martin said about “Bez”’s action and penalty: “What he did immediately was what he could do in that moment, but this penalty didn't encourage him to do it like that. Race competitors are there to help us, we should trust them. Sometimes when you fall, you don’t see everything you want to see; so you can get angry.” Martin asked about whether the given harts was fair for Bezzecchi, “You should ask this question from you,” he replied.
