The Pramac Ducati rider once again took out the hammer to beat all his rivals with amazing clarity and adds his eighth Pole Position in MotoGP
‘Martinator’ also recognized that he has the pace to do a great race, although it will be necessary to “monitor the wear and the fall of the tires”
The Madrilenian George Martinauthor of the Pole Position at the Malaysian Grand Prix and a new circuit record from Sepang, he acknowledged, referring to his lap time that “I knew I could do 1:57, but not in this heat”.
“The rest have also suffered, but I have had a plus to be better than the rest, although I’m happier with the pace than the fastest lap“, assured Martín, who stressed that “doing the Pole is what really gives you satisfaction, because many times I have fallen from the record and I have not achieved P1, because someone else has lowered the time, so doing the pole is what tastes better”.

“Starting ahead is going to help me a lot, I haven’t looked very well at how the rest turn out, but Bezzecchi and Bastianini are very strong in rhythm and those who are close to me on the grid will be at the beginning of the race, so I will have to see tire wear to know if I can push from the beginning or if I have to save a lot as it has happened to me in other races“, explained the Ducati rider, who already has eight Poles in the premier class and almost 30 as a World Cup rider.
