Jorge Martin: “Rolling the dice is sometimes not the best choice when you are battling for a championship.”
The Sprint winner was on the back wheel of race leader and title rival Francesco Bagnaia when raindrops suddenly intensified on lap 7 of 27.
"I was quite comfortable, but it started raining heavily in sectors one, two, and three. For this reason, I decided to change bikes," Martin said.Third place team-mate Franco Morbidelli crashed due to the rain but the shower soon passed, forcing Martin to pit again for slicks. “Yeah, for sure, rolling the dice maybe sometimes is not the best choice when you are battling for a championship," Martin said."I’ve learned my lesson, and now it’s time to look ahead."
“I didn't know exactly if I could overtake or not. I thought I couldn't, so I was just behind, waiting, waiting, waiting... At least I could get one point," he said.
