Jorge Martin: “We Must Be Prepared to Suffer Here in Catalonia”
BARCELONA – Jorge Martin secured a successful weekend in Catalonia, shifting momentum in the championship race. Following his historic victory at Le Mans, Martin aims to dominate in Spain as well. The Spanish rider emphasized the need for caution towards the team and himself, recognizing Barcelona as one of the most challenging circuits of the season.
Incredible Success at Le Mans
At the Le Mans Grand Prix, Jorge Martin and the Aprilia team achieved a remarkable success, dominating the entire podium for the first time in MotoGP history. Martin won the race, with Marco Bezzecchi finishing second and Ai Ogura third.
“Le Mans was incredible. I really enjoyed that moment. It seemed unreal that Aprilia was first, second, and third. I’m very happy for the team.” – Jorge Martin
Momentum in the Championship Race
Martin secured victory in the Sprint race at Le Mans, leading from start to finish and overtaking Bezzecchi in the main race. This result significantly increased the Spanish pilot’s advantage in the championship battle.
The Challenges of Catalonia
Martin stated that while he enjoys the layout of the Catalonia circuit, he will be cautious due to Alex Marquez’s victory last year and KTM’s strong potential. “I think this could be one of the most difficult circuits for us. We must be prepared to suffer.”
Traumatic Memories in Barcelona
The Catalonia circuit holds both good and traumatic memories for Jorge Martin. Before announcing the 2024 MotoGP World Championship here, the Spanish pilot also considered the serious accidents he experienced in the past.
“I have very beautiful memories here. But I also have bad memories. I broke my arm here. I crashed while leading in Moto3. Now I just thank God for being healthy.” – Jorge Martin
Aprilia’s Ergonomic Improvements
Following the injuries he experienced recently, Martin, who looks at races differently, expressed his appreciation for Aprilia’s ergonomic improvements to the motorcycle. The adjustments made just two laps after returning from Qatar, in particular, had a significant impact on Martin’s performance.
“When I first switched to Aprilia, I got very tired quickly. We kept changing the handlebars, levers, and riding position until Jerez. Aprilia is incredible in this regard.” – Jorge Martin
Shoulder Contact and Safety
Drawing attention after touching his shoulder to the ground in the 5th corner at Le Mans, Martin joked about the matter. “The air seems very cold. Maybe tomorrow is not the day to try crazy things. But now it’s easy to touch my shoulder!”
Conclusion:
Jorge Martin aims to secure a significant advantage in Catalonia in the championship race. With the support of his team and Aprilia, the Spanish pilot declared himself ready to suffer on the challenging circuit, focusing on the race.
