There is World Cup. Starting from sixth position, Jorge Martín managed to dominate the MotoGP German GP sprint race with great authority and proved to be a firm candidate to challenge Peco Bagnaia for the championship, who currently dominates the standings. Marc Márquez, for his part, suffered again on his Honda and, although he managed to maintain the verticality of his motorcycle, he could not get into the points. It is the first time that Marc Márquez not only did not win in the German GP, ??the eleven previous times in which he participated he took the victory, but he did not even manage to score points on Saturday. The man from Cervera hit bottom, who still does not feel comfortable on the Honda.
After the victory he achieved in the sprint of the French GP, Martín managed to repeat his victory and also add his third consecutive podium. Portugal, Americas, France, Italy and Germany. In five races the driver from San Sebastián de los Reyes, who is currently second in the World Championship, has already been on the podium, after surpassing Marco Bezzecchi.
Martín used the surprise factor to push at the start. In the first two laps he managed to get third. But even there he felt that he was slowed down, so he decided to take a risk and overtook Bagnaia and Miller in the same curve, with a scare included. Martín saved the fall and began to set his pace to gradually move away until two seconds.
“It’s been a nice race, I’ve been competitive all weekend. I have had to play my cards. In the first laps there was a lot of chaos, but I felt that I had a plus. I have found a gap to overtake two riders, I have been able to save the bike and I have had a nice battle with Peco. Now I have that control over the front end ”, he explained as a key.
Despite being sixth in the morning session, Martin assured that he “felt stronger for the long race than for the sprint. We will see the way out, but if everything goes well and with patience we can go forward and fight it ”, he concluded.
Behind, Marc Márquez failed to enter the points despite starting from seventh position. Undoubtedly, the three falls in qualifying slowed down the pace of the driver from Cervera, who was unable to achieve the pace that he has shown throughout his entire career on this circuit. Finally, he was eleventh. Tomorrow he will have another opportunity to improve his sensations.
