Jorge Martin is in the running in this Aragon Grand Prix which can finally smile on the Ducati in view of the timesheets of an astonishing day on Friday. But the winner in Austria obviously hoped for better and regrets his physical condition still needs to be perfected. He nevertheless has one certainty: Marc Marquez is on another planet…
George Martin is in the top 5 of the first hierarchy of Aragon Grand Prix, which isn't bad as a rookie. In the wake of his teammate Johann zarco, he in front of the Ducati official bagnaia, but this Friday revealed something to him that he regrets: “ riding here with the Ducati is difficult, I thought it would be easier. It's a track that requires a lot of physical work, I struggled in FP1 because of my physical condition. In the afternoon we had some things to try, I also tried the hard rear tire, in the morning we tried the medium ", says Jorge.
He adds : " it is not known which tire can be used in the race, even the software is honestly quite good. As for the pace, I see and think that Marc Márquez is one step ahead of everyone but Fabio also seems quite strong. I think I'm ahead, I know I can do .49 low all the time and in terms of racing it's not bad. I hope I can take another step forward tomorrow, trying to run 48,8/48,9 which would be a good pace ».
Jorge Martin: “ the truth is that I didn't feel very well«
« Normally here I'm fast, this morning I didn't have much confidence at the front and I also struggled with the rear » adds the Pramac driver who is still in good shape: “ it was difficult because it's a track that requires a lot of physics and in the first laps it was complex, normally every day I always improve a little and so I hope that tomorrow will be better ».
George Martin finished : " I was hoping for a top 8 or a top 10, I didn't see myself being very competitive after FP1. The truth is that I didn't feel very well. With the hard at the back I did 48,6 which is a very good time. Seeing that I am here, it is clear that tomorrow we will have to take a step forward, me and the bike have a margin on the flying lap. If we go straight to Q2 the possibility exists and I hope to be able to take advantage of it ».
