“It’s not that it’s unsafe, because we are professional riders so we manage…”
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has been expected to be faster this weekend due to lower temperatures at the Solidarity GP’s November date compared to the early-summer date often taken for the Catalan Grand Prix.
In comparison to the Circuit Ricardo Tormo — which usually hosts the final round but was unable to this year because of recent flooding in Valencia — Martin believes that Barcelona is a more “risky” track to ride at this time of year.“But I think also Michelin did a great job bringing much more tyres, and for the time attack it’s really useful. But it’s strange, also because it’s a new condition.
“But then my feeling is a bit worse, I feel strange, I feel like I struggle to get the grip from the rear tyre a lot, and also the confidence in the front on the left corners is not the best, so we are working on that. Martin’s standout moment at turn five on Friday was was a save he made on his final time attack in Practice.
