Jorge Martin will enter the long race at Mandalika in the lead of the championship, having taken victory in today’s Sprint. It is known that the Ducati riders share the data with each other, and Martin did not hide, in statements after the race, that he looks at his rival’s data, to understand what is going on with the #1:
– No, I always look at Pecco’s data and try to see what he is doing during the weekend and his settings. I look to see how the situation is, but then I need to work on my set-up and be focused on my driving style and set-up. I can’t help you.
Regarding tomorrow’s race, Jorge Martin was confident, especially after being able to test the medium tyre:
– I’m happy because I was the only one who worked with the medium rear tyre this morning and I think it’s a positive thing because I know the tyre better, it’s working well and maybe it’s not easy under braking, but it will certainly last a lot longer than the soft. Today the soft, you saw by Maverick the tyre was completely destroyed after 7/8 laps, and the medium is much more constant, and I managed to do 1.31, which is similar to what we were doing at the end of the race (Sprint). So, I think that after 8 laps there will be a cross between the soft and the medium, and I hope I can benefit from the laps I did.
