Jorge Martin: Be Careful at the Start of the Race to Avoid Vibration Problems

RiderTua.com – At the press conference in Jerez, Jorge Martin explained that he still needs to improve in the Spanish GP. The Pramac Ducati rider said that he recently scored good points for the standings at the Austin GP. He has fond memories of the podium in Moto2. But the point is he has now developed here on a MotoGP bike.

He had good speed in the 2023 season, but he also had problems overtaking opponents. Of course he tried to fix it. However, according to him, it is very difficult to predict things like vibrations on a bike. In Austin they found ‘something’ from Saturday to Sunday. He has been very consistent at the end of the 2023 season. Now he has to concentrate on getting stronger from the start. He has to be calmer and that will be the key. Tires are getting better, but now they also have other problems. The bike has too much grip on the sides of the tires, added Martinator.

Jorge Martin: Be careful at the start of the race to avoid vibration problems

Regarding the Jerez track itself, Martin revealed that of course the Jerez track is very narrow and the walls are too close. But I know that Dorna with the Security Commission is doing a good job. They have installed many air fences so that there are no problems. Martin also really hopes for a safe weekend for all riders.

Regarding the recurring vibration problem on his Ducati GP24, Martin explained, “A lot depends on how we approach the race. If we start fast, we will have problems. With Ducati, we are under pressure to solve this problem. On the other hand if we have a solution to this problem, then we know how big our potential is. But I definitely have to limit my potential and be careful at the start of the race. Otherwise, it will be very difficult if the vibration problem starts early.”

Regarding the special prestige of the Jerez circuit, Franco Morbidelli‘s new teammate said that winning alone is difficult! This is something very different. Martin’s family has been coming here to watch Doohan and Criville in action since before he was born. Just like Assen which is also a very legendary track.
