Jorge Martin “looking forward to the challenge” of beating Marc Marquez, with his eyes set on another MotoGP double at Sachsenring.
After crashing five times during the German MotoGP weekend last year, Marquez opted out of racing on Sunday.
But now on a Ducati, Marquez is seen by many as the favourite once again which has led to Martin admitting he is excited to try and dethrone the eight-time world champion. “I’m looking forward to the challenge,” said Martin. “I remember last season I was looking at his onboard videos from the years before.Martin also stated that he is without question a better rider than this time last season.
The Pramac Ducati rider continues to lead the championship although his advantage has been reduced in recent races. Speaking about his own level but also the general level in MotoGP, Martin said: “I think I am a better rider than last season. I think the level this year is absolutely better than the year before and already in Assen I felt that we were riding perfectly.“Both will be super strong but I feel confident and super strong.
