El World Cup, in a moment. An instant changed everything, it made Jorge Martín will go from hero to villainfrom being Martinator, a contender for the iron title, to a competitor who already sees himself behind Pecco Bagnaiathe one that left him without a crown in 2023.
all for a damn fallan accident due to lack of only two turns, in the first curve, to the right, when he was more than half a second ahead of ‘1’, who, yes, was pressing and had not given up. The Madrid native He went from being, almost certainly, 20 points ahead in the general standings to being 10 below.
On Saturday, with his victory in the Sprint, had broken the streak from Turin, but the long race became his fourth win in a row on a Sunday. He best gift for your upcoming wedding in this break. One will be partying with his fiancée and the other, even though he tries to escape, giving this incident a thousand thoughts.
Because the moral blow it was obvious. Martín, seriously, logically, took cover behind sunglasses and was covered by his people, who they collected in silence while they had to endure the shouts of joy in the next-door box, the one with the official Ducati, the one Jorge will never set foot on. . Claudio Domenicalithe ‘Ducatista’ CEO, key in that outcome, merged into hugs in the parc ferme with Bagnaia and Marc Márquez, the one chosen by those from Borgo Panigale, while the one from Prima Pramac passed one of the worst times of his life in the truck close to the garage.
Learn from mistake
Then he showed his face. “It is a very important day in my career. I must understand it and learn because there have been three identical falls. It is a mistake, painful, frustrating, difficult to accept. I won’t say that the great champions commit it, but the great drivers do,” he said.
Of course, the one from San Sebastián de los Reyes relied on pride and the data of his performance until the fall to arm himself for the future, because the World Cup is not over, far from it. He will come out and he knows it. “I was neither the best nor am I the worst for these two laps. Until then, I drove very well. If I improve this, it will be very difficult to beat me“, he threw.

That happened several grand prizes ago., I have several victories in a row. In fact, I don’t think this will change for Jorge Martín. The championship is very long, we don’t have to think about turning points or the World Cup,” he stated, reaffirming his power… and the strength he expects from Martinator.
Until that comes, it will be three weeks of vacation with a print stroke which changed the classification at least. When we get back we’ll see if there’s anything else.
