Jorge Martin is the kind of driver who doubts nothing and rarely doubts himself, and what makes him endearing is that he never hides it. A candor mixed with a scathing frankness which shapes a character who forges his own dimension in the paddock. Until he begins to impact his direct opponents who see him as more and more essential and no longer as an adjustment variable. Since MotoGP returned from its summer break, it seems to have moved up a gear. In fact, everything is going as he said it would...
And what he announced at the start of the season was that he would really take off at exactly this moment in the campaign. The frantic succession of races, which is further away from the European bases, which further exhausts the organizations, is the scenario that George Martin loves it while many others of its peers fear it.

Jorge Martin: “ this is certainly the moment of my career in which I am the strongest »
He shows it and he capitalizes on this moment, sowing a hint of doubt on the leader both in the championship and at Ducati Pecco Bagnaia who declared at the end of the Sprint race in India, won by the driver Pramac that it would be desirable for the hemorrhage of lost points to stop this Sunday at Buddh.
The Spaniard completely eclipsed his teammate Johann zarco, and, on his current level of form, he gives his assessment without the slightest complexion: “ this is definitely the moment in my career in which I am the strongest, in terms of style and mentality. Even though I think in Moto3 I had extra pace, in MotoGP it's more difficult to have it. Let's say I'm the best Martin there's been so far ". And he is left for the moment with a rein on his neck, slowly but surely returning to the championship.
