Jorge Martín suffered from dehydration in the final laps of the MotoGP main race at the Indian GP but managed to withstand the pressure from Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha) to secure second place.
The Prima Pramac rider spoke to the press about the physical difficulties he endured: ‘You have to trust me when I say I gave my 100 per cent. I was dehydrated when it was eight laps to go, so it was really difficult to finish the race. Even though I was able to keep a good pace. In the last lap I did a big mistake because of the dehydration and I went wide, so Fabio overtook me. But I could overtake back, so I’m really happy to take this second position’.
Pleased with the recovery of points in the championship, Martín emphasized the need to keep the same approach: ‘I feel super happy for the team and also we recovered some points in the championship. I think we have to keep the same mentality as we came here: to try to win, to try to be competitive in all the practices. And this is the way to be closing the gap’.
