Pramac’s Jorge Martin says he cannot use the “strongest parts of my riding” on the 2024 Ducati MotoGP bike due to the ongoing chatter problems he is battling.
The 2023 championship runner-up took the first win of the 2024 campaign on Saturday in the sprint contest.But he couldn’t convert his pole into a second win in the grand prix, dropping behind Francesco Bagnaia on the opening lap and ultimately finishing third.While Martin branded the Qatar round as a “great weekend” in terms of results, he says he is still being limited by the 2024 Ducati issues he has been facing since testing.“I think we demonstrated the speed that we have,” he told motogp.
”Martin also noted that he felt being on the podium in the grand prix would have been “really tough” after what he felt on the bike in the sprint.“I’m happy about the result,” he said.“If you asked me yesterday , being on the podium today will be really tough. But today we had the potential to win.“I’m not 100% happy. Maybe I was too good on the tyres in the beginning of the race and then Pecco overtook me.“And then everything changed a lot because I think my front pressure went a bit high.
