Jorge Martín sees his most dangerous rival in Quartararo

Lombok (Indonesia), 19 Mar Spaniard Jorge Martín (Ducati Desmosedici GP22), second in the starting lineup of the Indonesian MotoGP Grand Prix held on Sunday at the Mandalika circuit, points out about his possible rivals that “it seems that it will be Fabio (Quartararo)”, but that “the start will be very important and there is how five or six riders with a very similar pace”, including. “It was a very difficult qualification, because it was very hot and we suffered a little with the front train and, on my best lap, I was about to lose the front train in turn one and I doubted whether to keep pushing or stopping, but I kept pushing”, acknowledged the Madrid rider. “I also lost the front train in turn sixteen, but I was able to close a good lap and I think second place is a good result, because the goal was the front row and I didn't think about pole because Fabio was super competitive today, but I did think about being a little closer, even if the position was the same”, recalled Martín, who stated that he has a good pace and will try to “fight with the drivers in front”. “I have more confidence in braking, which is a great improvement compared to Qatar and I think that we are three or four riders very close, Marc and Pol also have a good pace, but they come out behind and the choice of tires will be important, but I think that both tires will work more or less the same, so we'll see what the decision is,” explained Jorge Martin.
