Jorge Martin He is the leader of the MotoGP world championship. At 21 points it is Pecco Bagnaia. The two big candidates for the title. And the Italian has already started this psychological war, putting all the pressure on the Spaniard, who will leave Pramac at the end of the season.
During the press conference of Japanese Grand Prix Bagnaia put all the pressure on Martín: “Jorge is the one who has to manage the most. The pressure is the same… it’s a little more for him, I think, but it’s the same. We are playing here for the same result…”
“Given the circuit and Jorge’s performance in Mandalika, we have to see taking three points from him as something positive. I like Motegi, it’s a circuit that suits me better, it’s more like the “Austria, a track where I feel very good. It could rain on Sunday and maybe in Q2 we could start to take points from Jorge,” explains the double MotoGP champion.
And this does not exclude that Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini to be judges of the World Cup: “I think Marc and Enea are still there, because we have seen this season how easy it is to make mistakes. I think I have already made a lot of them, so I have to be more focused on making everything perfect.”
He insists that we must not exclude those who come from behind: “From the start of the season, there is a difference between us and others. Yes, it is true that mathematically it is possible that Enea and Marc are champions, we must take this into account until this is the case. “We know perfectly well, better than anyone, how easy it is to fall, to make mistakes.”
And he understands the struggles between Italians and Spaniards. Because Enea has not hidden that she supports him: “The Italians go with the Italians…the Spaniards, with the Spaniards. That’s clear.”
