On this Thursday, August 12, 2021, Jorge Martín answered questions from journalists from the Red Bull Ring circuit, ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix.
We went to listen (via teleconferencing software) to the words of the Spanish rider, who won his first MotoGP victory at the Red Bull Ring last weekend, and will certainly try to do it again this Sunday.
As usual, we report here the words of Jorge Martín without the slightest formatting.
Jorge, it's been a few days now since you took your first victory in MotoGP. What is your view on this now? This must have probably increased your appetite even more?
" After the race was of course difficult to achieve. You spend the whole event fighting to try to win, but now I feel good, and the good thing is we're going to have another race here, and you're just going to have to stay focused. In the end I didn't have much time to enjoy my victory, but on the other hand it's not necessarily a bad thing in the sense that it allowed me to keep my feet on the ground. »
You explained during the last race that you didn't feel any pressure even hearing Joan Mir's bike behind you because you rode with him for a long time in the other categories. Should we conclude from this that you can, conversely, be more easily put under pressure if another driver is on your heels?
" I I don’t know, you should try! With Joan, it's true that we've ridden together a lot in the past, and it's clear that if you have a world champion or someone who is clearly stronger than you, you're going to be more prone to making mistakes. errors. »
