It was a good Saturday for Jorge Martin. Third position, without fear, behind Pecco Bagnaia and a combative Aeneas Bastianini. And he holds his first MotoGP world champion title in his fingertips.
The accounts are clear. In the Barcelona race this Sunday This helps him finish ninth and score seven points. As long as Pecco wins.
Ducati had a perfect Saturday. First the pole, then a sprint victory in which he had no rival: he defended his position at the start and left so that his rivals could fight from behind.
And there was a fight. Bastianini and Martín met several times on the track and the Madrid native preferred not to take any risks. He ended up with third place and the math in mind: If he is ninth this Sunday he will achieve his first MotoGP world championship before leaving for Aprilia.
