The Pramac Ducati rider, Jorge Martin, had a disappointing result in the last Saturday’s grand prix at Phillip Island. Despite starting from pole position, he dropped to fifth place on the final lap. This sudden drop in position was due to a gamble he took with using a soft tyre, which unfortunately backfired on him.
Martin’s Title Rival and Points Deficit
As a result of the disappointing race in Australia, Martin now finds himself 27 points behind his title rival, Francesco Bagnaia, coming into the Thailand MotoGP. This deficit puts Martin in a difficult position as he tries to close the gap and regain control of his championship campaign.
Martin’s Fastest Time on Friday
Despite the setback in Australia, Martin demonstrated his determination and skill by clocking the fastest time during Friday’s practice sessions in Thailand. Although he suffered a crash at the end of the second practice, he remained undeterred and proved his pace on track.
Ready for the Sprint
Aware of the challenges that lie ahead, Martin remains optimistic about his chances in the Thailand MotoGP. He admits that the tyre wear will be a factor to consider, especially after the disappointment of the previous race. However, Martin is confident in his abilities and believes he is more prepared for the upcoming sprint in Thailand. His determination to bounce back and fight for victory is evident, and fans can expect an exciting battle on the track.
