Jorge Martin He does not understand why the commissioners did not sanction Enea Bastianini inside Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna. And he believes that there is now an important “precedent” in MotoGP and hopes that there will be no sanctions in the event of a repetition of this type of action.
This is how he showed strength after the race: “I don’t consider myself a driver who seeks contact, but if in a situation I have to do it, the race direction will not be able to do anything. It is a weapon that I keep up my sleeve, I do not intend to use it, and I hope not to have to use it. But it is clear that, if there was no sanction today, there shouldn’t be a next time if i do this. “Now we have a precedent.”
Regarding his next gesture, apologizing for his cut sleeve and congratulating Enea for the victory, he appreciates what he has matured in recent times: “Maybe another rider would have shaken his hand only a few days later, but, in the end, I have worked a lot on this ego that I don’t have. “I congratulated him on his victory and I’m looking forward to it.”
“If this had happened to me last year, or two years ago, the situation in the parc fermé would have been different. But ego leads nowhere, you have to be calm and aware of what can happen. “I pay attention to the positive things, how to improve and maintain my focus for the final goal, one of those things is not to fight after the races,” explains the Madrid driver.
“I was lucky not to fall”
Martín insists that this maneuver could have caused him to fall to the ground: “I was lucky not to fall, I could have missed this opportunity…”
“I think there is no consistency in the race direction. There has been contact, it is part of our sport, but if the driver who overtakes goes off track, he touches the limits of the track and then he will have to give up his position,” said the driver by Pramac.
