“It was a complicated race on a difficult track," says Jorge Martin who twice crashed in qualifying
Two crashes during qualifying at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas forced the championship leader to start the sprint race from sixth on the grid.“It was a tough day. But at the end we have a podium. I am super happy.“I did some good moves on different riders. I overtook Aleix Espargaro, Pedro, Enea Bastianini.
“I feel confident that I can be more competitive if I do a better start. Let’s go for a better result.” Pramac’s Martin was involved in a battle with Gresini’s Marquez and Tech3 GASGAS’ Pedro Acosta over the two podium spots behind the winner Vinales. Martin overtook Acosta but could not gain an extra place on Marquez, who fended him off in the latter stages.“Maybe I closed that gap too soon. Then I had issues with the rear.“You need to look into the details. The rear tyre suffers a lot.Despite an edgy Saturday for the Pramac Ducati rider, he has extended his lead at the top of the MotoGP standings to 25 points, ahead of second-placed Bastianini.“I don’t care about this, at the moment,” insisted Martin.“We took the maximum from the situation.
