The opinion of the eight-time world champion
Francesco Bagnaia at Motegi he achieved a double between Sprint and GP, recovering, however, only 11 points from Jorge Martin who still has a 10-point margin over the two-time world champion with four races remaining until the end of the season. Martin complicated his life quite a bit in Qualifying by crashing and having to start from the fourth row, but in both races he managed to get away from the traffic quite quickly, finishing in fourth position in the Sprint and second in the GP, when it mattered most .
Marc Marquezwho on the eve of the weekend had leaned in favor of Martin as to who will win the championship, was pleasantly impressed by the slalom of his compatriot who thus kept a small nest egg of points between himself and Bagnaia: “I remain faithful to my ‘bet’ on Martin – said Marquez when questioned by the Spanish newspaper AS – Martín started eleventh and I know how difficult life is for you at the back. He resolved the situation and handled it very well in the first laps.”
Marquez added that he will continue to hammer like this on every lap sooner or later from here to Valencia another mistake will come from Bagnaia or Martin: “When you play for the title you bring out the best, they are doing it and raising the level compared to the rest of the category. I believe that if they continue at this rate, Pecco or Martin will fall again. With this pace it’s difficult to resist without making mistakes in every race.”
