MotoGP title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin has warned that his double victory at Le Mans could also 🥃have been the turning point in the 2024 season.

That’s because the French round was the first ev🎐ent of this year where the Pramac Ducati rider co𝄹uld ride naturally, without having to work around chatter (vibration) issues.

"Yes, we had a few problems with some vibrations in the first races, but finally in Fr🐷ance I found the sensations of last year,” Martin told . “Now I know t🅠he bike and I know where we can go by working more on the details and not on the problems.

“I thin💜k th♌is was the turning point of the season."

Martin heads to this weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP with a 38-point title lead, meaning he cannot be toppled from the head of the standings whatever happens in Barcelona♔.

But he insists: “I want to make the most of every moment and have fun, not just think about the [title] victory. Obvio♍usly, if at the end of the🌺 year there is the possibility of winning the world championship, [I’ll think about it] but not now.”

While the title battle might well go down to Valencia in November once again, a big off-track decision is looming over Martin’s future. Will he finally get the c🔥oveted factory team seat alongside Francesco Bagnaia or look elsewhere for 2025?

“E꧅verything should be decided within these two races. But I don't think that much will change for me: in Barcelona or at Mugello you will always see the same rider on🔴 the track,” he said.

I think all the riders want to get to a factory team a🦩nd I think it's the right time for me to do it. It would be a bit like closing a circle..."

Whichever (factor💧y) team Martin joins next season, he has one more chance to avenge last year’s title defeat and make history as MotoGP’s first satellite world champion.

"[Winni🌸ng the title] would fulfil my and my family's lifelong dream and then it would be making history because no one has ev𝕴er won it with a satellite team,” Martin acknowledged. 

“It would be incre♍dible, f𓆏or Paolo [Campinoti] and for the whole team of which I am very proud..."

"They gave me the opportunity and the confidence that I needed in 2021,” Martin added of his time at the Pram💛ac team, which saw him take a debu🎶t MotoGP win in only his sixth race.

“I thin🍬k this cycle is over and now I have to look forward: my dream [for 2025] is to go to 𒐪the official Ducati team and win with them. 

"Let's hope that happens.”
