The winter break has now been declared and some pilots, like Jorge Martin, will first recover their health on the operating table before relaxing. Pecco Bagnaia will also be in this case to have a plate removed from one leg. But for the rookie of the 2021 season and great Ducati hope, this is not the first time that he will see the knife, he who has already suffered seven fractures after a fall at the Portuguese Grand Prix…
George Martin is fast, but it is also fragile. During the last round in Valencia, he had stomach aches which even prevented him from eating, but once on his GP21, it was as if nothing had happened. However, one leg is not in great shape and prevents him from shifting and downshifting well.
However, it is not in this region of the body that he will go to have it revised before finally enjoying a few days of vacation… “ For a few races I was fine, I didn't feel any pain anymore. But I still have problems with some plaques, so I will have surgery on December 14th with Dr. Mir. I still have pain in my right arm. With the leg in place, I have no problems. Nothing important, but I'll be ready for next season ».
Jorge Martin: “ I still touch the ground in certain turns with the fairing«
On these two days of testing in Jerez, he makes an interesting mention: “ I tested the new fairing and I must say that it is much better. Everything is easier, you turn faster, cornering speed has improved ". So much so that a problem has arisen that engineers will have difficulty solving… “ I always hit the ground in some turns with the fairing, it also happens to Miller, you have to be careful because I also fell because of that, but in general it works well ».
Grand Prix drivers are definitely not the type to be impressed… Before concluding, Jorge Martin takes one last look at his season MotoGP and try to consider the next: “ I'm happy with the performance: four poles, four podiums and one victory. I feel very strong and motivated for next season, the fight for the top 5 at the end of the year would be a good goal. Gigi Dall'Igna often comes to my box to listen to my comments. I'm happy, I liked everything I tried and I felt very supported, I feel good, I am very happy to be part of this family" We will remind you that he will be equipped with a GP22, like his teammate Johann zarco.
