Marc super relaxed at the end of play. T15 crash aside, said Friday was ‘perfect.’
He knows it’s time to attack. ‘The championship’s in my hands, so I’ll try to be as close to 37 pts as possible.’
Few riders complaining about state of Sepang surface. Diggia: ‘It’s a motocross track now. You need to wear a chest protector.’ Stones causing lots of issues.
Pretty remarkable for Martin to even be here just 6 days on from breaking a bone in his right wrist, never mind out there riding.
Martin says his aim is to ‘see his feeling’ tomorrow morning on ‘whether to continue or not.’
‘It’s the right hand, it’s a right corner circuit, so it doesn’t look good. But let’s see tomorrow.’
Just in from Aprilia:
Jorge Martin declared fit to take part in FP1. He will be reviewed again after that.
Was in Adelaide on Tuesday to have a look around the proposed MotoGP track for 2027. A few observations.
Clear signs of opposition around the city parks. SA Premier Peter Malinauskas says they’ll plant 10 new trees for every one that’s cut down.
Tardozzi feels today was a missed opportunity for Ducati. But still remembers Foggy’s crash here in 2000 so safety always the priority.
Says 3 of next 4 tracks should suit Aprilia. ‘But we have Marc Marquez. That’s something that relaxes us.’
Rivola says it’s ’very, very difficult’ to imagine Martin racing at Sepang.
Says it’s not a dramatic break in Jorge’s wrist. ‘Yesterday he provided a show that was amazing. But shit happens. We’re not really lucky with him but we won’t give up.’
Pit lane opening time pushed back to 16:00 for MotoGP. Moto2 officially been cancelled. Not looking massively promising.
Just in from Aprilia: Jorge Martin underwent a CT. Only confirmed injury is non-displaced fracture of distal radius. So won’t return to Spain for surgery. Could we see a return in Sepang?
