“There was no need for luck. “I needed justice and it has been done.” Jorge Martín’s lapidary sentence was the corollary of his MotoGP world title. The summary of what his sporting career has been: he just needed luck, sporting fortune, to smile on him.
The champion, having overcome the phase of euphoria for the title and the celebrations emulating Terminatorthe hugs with his team and his family, he had a few moments of reflection and memory: he remembered his humble and complicated origins, the efforts of his parents, his change of mental chip, and the rejection of Ducati, which he preferred to Marc Márquez for the official team.
Acknowledgments
“I haven’t had an easy road. “We all know where I come from, my parents have fought a lot so that I could fulfill my dream.”
“It has been a long career, with many ups and downs, many hard moments. I can only dedicate it to all the people I have supported since the first day I started riding a motorcycle, to my father and mother, my brother, my grandfather, my entire family, all the teams that have given me opportunities,” he said gratefully. the Madrid native
“I haven’t had an easy road. We all know where I come from, my parents have fought a lot so that I could fulfill my dream, which was to be MotoGP world champion. I haven’t had it easy, but that has made me stronger. If it had been easy, maybe I would have given up sooner. Here we are. I have already achieved the dream of my life. I could stop tomorrow, I would be the happiest person in the world, but there is a lot left. I hope there is Martinator for a while.”
Jorge remembered images from his humble past, when he was about to stop running because there was no money. ”There was a moment in the race when I saw my father, María, on the screens, and I remembered my mother, the macaroni when we were karting, all the early mornings, the overtime, of my grandfather,” recalled the Madrid native, who has never hidden that he had to compete with the help of scholarships, both in the Cuna de Campeones program at the Cheste Circuit and in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, where he was proclaimed champion, until Jorge Martínez Aspar gave him the opportunity to take him to the Moto3 World Championship in 2015.
Psychological work
“I have worked a lot this year on knowing how to run, admitting that I could not win, to change that fear of losing for the hope of winning”
Martín’s big change has been in the psychological field. “His mental strength, this self-confidence, he didn’t have before,” his good friend Aleix Espargaró discovered. Martín unraveled the transformation experienced: “My biggest fear was never being able to be MotoGP world champion. I have achieved it. I have worked a lot this year, knowing how to run while admitting that I could not win, to get rid of that fear of not winning, thanks to my psychologist (the Catalan Xero Gasol), it has helped me a lot to change that fear of losing for the hope of winning. “It’s what I’ve learned this year and what I hope to continue doing.”
Ducati’s choice
“I thank Ducati, which gave me the opportunity to get to MotoGP. We haven’t finished in the best way, but it has given me the opportunity to have all the weapons.”
Martín was elegant when talking about Ducati, the factory with which he has been champion, but which rejected him for the official red motorcycle of 2025, which he preferred to hand over to Marc Márquez after the scandal launched by the one from Cervera in the run-up to the Italian GP in Mugello.
“I have learned to drive giving my 100% regardless of the noise, regardless of what is happening outside. I was frustrated not to go to Ducati, I wanted to go there, but life teaches you lessons and takes you to places you don’t expect and you have to adapt. I have to be grateful to Ducati for giving me this bike. Ducati gave me the opportunity to get to MotoGP. We haven’t finished in the best way, because we haven’t closed the circle, but it has given me the opportunity to have all the weapons, to fight, and for the best to win. I have beaten the best Pecco, I have beaten a great Marc,” commented Martín, who next year will race with the official Aprilia team, where his friend Espargaró comes from.
Your rival, not enemy
“We were close when we were little. I was happy for him last year. There is no point in getting along”
He also had some heartfelt words for Pecco Bagnaia, his great rival the last two years. “We were close when we were little. I was happy for him last year. There’s no point in getting along. He said he would be happy for me if I won the World Cup. I invite him to the party, then if he wants to come…
