Jorge immediately ahead
The English weekend got off to a great start for Jorge MartinThe Spanish rider from the Ducati Pramac team recorded the best overall time in today’s pre-qualifyingensuring himself with a certain ease the automatic passage to Q2 for tomorrow’s qualifying. Martin however, as often happens, also brought with him a swarm of drivers who christened his wheel as the right one to try to achieve the fastest lap.
The ‘Game’ of Trails
“Tension for the trails? Yes, it’s complicated. But shifts are like that now – Martinator commented with a certain fatalism to the microphones of Sky Sports MotoGP – I can’t control who follows me. I can try to be a bit smart, but in the end if someone wants to follow you they do it anyway. For strong riders I think going alone is always better. I focused on going fast, but in these cases yes, you have two jobs: going fast but also thinking about the one behind. Then it also depends on who is behind you. If you have Pecco behind you you know you won’t let go of him, if you have others you don’t think about it“.
Holidays are over
The Spaniard, reigning world vice-champion and currently second in the world rankings, also let himself go with a joke about this return to the track which followed the ‘long holidays’ in July: “Relaxed? After three weeks I had a bit more difficulty getting back on the bike. NI didn’t really want to go back that much – he joked – but now that I feel fit I feel like it again“.
