Jorge Martin details terrifying moment at Motegi
Jorge Martin says he was forced to call off his late MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix victory charge after a moment at Turn 3 left him “shitting myself”.
Speaking after the race, Martin says a big scare late on led to him easing off to secure 20 points and limit the damage Bagnaia inflicted on his lead.“I saw Pecco was pushing, because he did a few mistakes in corner 11. “I saved it with the elbow. Then I lost like two seconds, I was really shitting myself and I said ‘Ok, it’s enough’.“Now it’s important to improve qualifying to do good qualifyings, because when I am in front I can lead and I can control the races.”
“So, I started to close the gap but when you are closer than half a second everything became quite difficult with the bike.
