Jorge Martín is the new leader of the MotoGP World Championship, but his approach remains the same. The Prima Pramac rider is now seven points ahead of the defending champion, Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).
The Spanish rider emphasized that the pressure is on the opponent, and he is experiencing his first time leading the MotoGP with good feelings, but without changing his mindset:
– It feels good, it feels amazing, and it’s like a dream – it’s why we are here. But the mentality will be the same. I need to attack, I need to enjoy the moment. Everything that comes is good; the pressure is on Pecco, I feel, because he needs to win. So, I will keep the same mentality.
Asked if he could do a similar performance at the beginning of the season with his current confidence levels, Martín replied: ‘I think I missed a lot of good points at the beginning of the season, I did some mistakes, but this a learning process – this year is still a learning process. And hopefully next season I have another opportunity and I can be able to improve those mistakes’.
