In a paddock where the average age is quite low, Jorge Martin shows that in Grand Prix you can be only 24 years old and already be a kind of big brother. The Pramac rider, who is impatiently awaiting Ducati's decision regarding his second official bike to take next to that of Pecco Bagnaia, is a hope in the MotoGP category that is starting to materialize, but he does not remain focused on his own fate . He therefore decided to support young Fermin Aldeguer as much as he could.
Fermin Aldeguer is not a rookie in Moto2 this season, but he burst onto the international scene by achieving pole position at the Argentine Grand Prix. This was the third race of the year and 16 years and 332 days on his Boscoscuromoto, he had just come out of the statistics highlighting the earliest rider in achieving a top position in the intermediate category a certain Jorge Lorenzo. The latter had waited until he was 18 years and 31 days old to order a starting grid for what was then the 250cc.
Certainly, the rest was less rosy for the Spaniard who first fell in this Grand Prix at Termas de Rio Hondo, well helped by Celestine Vietti, and this sudden fame paralyzed him. We will indeed have to wait for the Sachsenring to see him again in a final top 5 while his new 20-year-old teammate, Alonso lopez, showed that the feat was also within his reach.
Jorge Martin: “ I try to help him«
Managed by Hector Faubel who knows that his rider caught the eye of headhunters in MotoGP, Fermin Aldeguer can count on a beautiful professional friendship with George Martin. The latter somehow took him under his wing. The two pilots live and train together in Andorra. “ I try to help him ", declared the teammate of John Zarco.
He adds : " he could have fought for second place with a better grid position at the German Grand Prix » declared the former Moto3 World Champion. Martin et Aldeguer spend a lot of time together, whether it's traveling the circuit on Grand Prix weekends or training together in Andorra. “ I have an apartment there and it pays every month, but of course I got a good price because we are friends » jokes a “Martinator” who thus revealed on speedweek a facet of his personality that we didn't know about.
