“If he was on the racing line, on the left, that wouldn’t have happened"
Championship leader Martin crashed out of the lead at Jerez, at the halfway stage, with Francesco Bagnaia directly behind him.2024 Spanish MotoGP, Jerez - Race Results“He was in his slipstream, on his side a little bit on the straights, on the approach to Turn 6.“He was trying to cover and he was going to the right side of the track, then coming back to the left, that stopped the rear slip. That’s why he crashed.“He starts coming back to the left, braking.
“On the left he would have got rear slip, rear slide, on braking very early on, then carrying it into the corner.“It was Pecco putting pressure on Jorge, and making him make a mistake.” Michael Laverty said about Martin: “He looked like he was so strong. On the brakes into Turn 6, he was probably the strongest rider out there.“Jorge has been the man in control this season. This is his first indiscretion.“But he can hold his head high. He hasn’t got the MotoGP podium around Jerez but he was certainly fast enough for it.”
Pramac rider Martin remains at the top of the MotoGP standings despite a point-less grand prix at Jerez. He is now 17 points ahead of factory Ducati rider Bagnaia, the reigning champion who edged him to last year’s title.
