Shouting “Yes, we can”, which began to become popular in the squares of Spain with the 15-M, in the image of “Yes, we can” in support of Barack Obama, Jorge Martín was received by the stands in his box , victorious, after winning the Sprint race of the Valencian Community GP and thus giving himself one last match point.
The Madrid driver will have this Sunday, in the last race of the World Championship (3:00 p.m.), at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Cheste, an opportunity to be champion, which can be summarized in only three options.
Martín’s only three mathematical options to be champion inexorably involve finishing on the podium, but with Bagnaia 15 points or more away, since now 14 separate them.
To do this, the Madrid driver would have to win the race and the Italian would not go beyond 6th place (25 points to 10); or, that Martín was second (20) and Bagnaia 11th or worse (5); or that Pramac Ducati finished 3rd (16 points) and Pecco only added one (15th) or none.
Concluding the race without getting on the podium would be of no use to him, since even if Bagnaia fell or retired due to a breakdown (0 points), Jorge would need at least the 16 of third place; The 13 in fourth place would not be enough.
Jorge Martín hopes with his last options to complete the miracle. “Yes, it is possible, it is very difficult, we are still very far away, but I want to enjoy it, I will take one more victory. What would you have been without Qatar rubber? Tomorrow we have to try to win, the long race remains, let’s see if we can win the World Cup,” Jorge lamented about the fiasco of the previous week, in which he gave up 7 points and dropped to 21.
“It’s complicated (to do like Friday), we don’t have enough to keep the group at bay. I will try to put myself first and we will see if something can be done,” she noted, in an intriguing way.
