Regarding Jorge Martin’s achievements, Gino Borsoi said that Martin adjusted his training program and diet in the winter, which helped him reduce his weight. Now he cycles a lot to be fitter, both mentally and physically during races.
Last year, Martin competed fiercely against Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati factory team) for the world title until the final race in Valencia. At that time, the 26 year old rider especially increased the pressure in the second half of the 2023 season, where Martin won 3 of his 4 wins.
“Last year we didn’t start the year badly, but it took us longer to adapt Jorge’s racing style to the new bike. We only really managed to do it in the middle of the season. This year we are lucky that the GP24 has worked optimally since the first test, Ducati “I’ve done a good job at the moment. But Jorge also worked a lot on his physical and mental strength during the winter, which is now working in his favor,” added Borsoi.
Regarding the fact that Martin leads the World Championship standings after the first 4 races of his 4th season in MotoGP, smiling Borsoi said, “Now he is Martin 4.0.”
