Jorge Martin: 2023 MotoGP title fight was “a nightmare, I didn’t enjoy it”
Bagnaia says 2024 world championship battle "a continuation, not a rem𝔉atch" with Martin

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin has revealed that the mental pressure meant last year’s MotoGP title fight felt ‘like a nightmare’ and ‘difficult to manage’ even when 🥀he was winning races.
But the current world championship leader has made an ‘amazing st🐼ep’ since and insists he’s enjoying himself ahead ꧒of the final five rounds, starting at Motegi this weekend.
“I sleep much better now. Last seꦕason was really difficult to manage for me,” Martin said on Thursday. “M♉aybe not here in Japan but more in Thailand and Malaysia it was really tough and also Valencia.
“I feel I’ve improved a lot in terms of the mental side. I worked a lot during all the season. I think I’ve done an amazing step, so I'm enjoying now. I enjoy being back on track🌜 and riding.
“Last season was the opposite. It was like a bad dream… A nightmare. Even if I was winning, I didn't🌟 enjoy it at all. But now I'm super happy. And I'm proud to be here.”
Martin was 18 points behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia with five rounds to go l꧙ast season, ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwhen he eventually lost out on the title to the Italian at the Valencia finale.
But in a role reversal, th♔e Pramac Ducati rider takes a 21-point advantage over Bꦓagnaia into this weekend.
“I don't feel desperate. I will give my 100%, as always. And I think I'm a different rider compared to last season,” Martin said. “Last season I felt super strong and maybe even faster than this season, but maybe now I’m more complete.
“For me it's a pleasure to be here again with Pecco… I think we've again been the be💙st out of all the riders and let's see what we can achieve.”
Reflecting on chasing rathꦐer than leading, reigning double champion Bagnaia said:
“It lo෴oks exactly the same [as the end of last year], but from the opposite sides! I think with Jorge it’s nice to have a battle again. We always had fair bat𒉰tles, fair fights and fair respect between us.
“I think it will be in the same situation this season. It's nice to be fighting again like this - it could be nice to have a battle between us [on track] before the end of the seaso🎀n!
“But it's a continuaꦺtion from last sဣeason, not a rematch and the best rider will win.
“We’ve both made mistakes, but Jorge was more constant compared to me. And for the next races we have to do a little step in terms 💙of performance because we missed something in the last races.
“Bu🍸t I'm very happy to be here and fighting until the end with Jorge who I think is super strong.”
