MotoGP | Gp Mugello Race, Martin: “A second place that makes me happy”

MotoGP Italian GP Mugello Ducati Pramac – Superb second position for Jorge Martin in the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, sixth round of the 2023 MotoGP world championship. Taking advantage of the choice of the soft tire on the rear, the Spaniard managed to create a good gap on his rivals, guaranteeing himself an important placing after the one obtained a month ago at Le Mans. A continuity that the Pramac standard bearer intends to confirm also in the continuation of this championship.

“In the end the rear tire no longer held anything, but let's say that the choice brought us luck, given that we managed to get the podium. In the end I imposed myself with the team. I said "I'll race with the soft", there were no other stories, even the team would have preferred the hard. I tried the medium, but during the weekend I was never able to get it to work. So here was the choice of the soft, which lasted for around 11 laps. The laps we needed to create a gap with the riders chasing me. Afterwards I tried to carry her to the finish line, finishing the race as best I could. It was a difficult race and second place makes me happy. It's a scary result. What do I need to compete with Bagnaia? In the meantime, don't race at Mugello, because he's really strong here. He manages to keep it very stable and with an extremely clean ride. He is fit and it will be up to us to work to get closer to his level”.
