Jorge Martin jokes about it after a lions’ Friday
Jorge Martin in good spirits after a brilliant Friday;
Friday’s day for MotoGp in Britain è closed with one master for both timed sessions, Jorge Martin. Riding the Ducati of the Prima Pramac Racing team, the Spaniard set the best lap of FP2, 1:57.911, placing him ahead of Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia), second at 45 thousandths, and Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati), separated by 74 thousandths.
Speaking to the microphones of 'Sky Sport', Martin è seemed to be in good spirits, so much as to indulge in a joke: "If I feel relaxed after the break? A bit of a struggle to get back on the bike I did, I didn't have that much desire to get back – he said, emphasizing the joking nature of his sentence -. But after today I would say I feel fit again".
Speaking more seriously, Martin commented on the numerous slipstream games that increasingly characterize the decisive moments of time trials: "It's a little bit complicated but it's been that way for a while now,” he said. “If someone wants to follow you to catch the slipstream, they just do it. It becomes a bit of a double job, thinking about your own speed but also about who is behind you".
Behind Martin, Espargaró and Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini (Ducati), Jack Miller (KTM), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati VR46), Brad Binder (KTM), Maverick Viñales (Aprilia), Marco Bezzecchi (Ducati VR46) and Marc Marquez (Ducati Gresini) also earned a place directly in Q2.
