After being on the lead for all race, losing such position and even ending outside of the top three in yesterday’s main race, Jorge Martín was naturally frustrated and didn’t hide such. The rider recalled his mistake in the tyre choice.
‘The truth is that it wasn’t a cold shower like Indonesia, but I’m a bit frustrated, because I was the fastest all weekend and to throw the race away like that… in the end we got points, it could have been worse. Now there are some very good tracks for me, I hope not to make the tyre mistake again and to be very concentrated because it is important to arrive with options to Valencia’, the rider told DAZN.
Still, Martín believes that in the end it wouldn’t be that different but admitted the mistake: ‘It wouldn’t have changed anything because I wouldn’t have had that margin and in the end it would have been the same. It was obviously a clear mistake. Maybe the strategy wasn’t right and the tyre wasn’t right, because maybe with the other tyre if I had pulled like that I would have passed too. So, as we don’t know, nobody will ever know that. Let’s hope for next year here in Australia we have the magic wand’.
