Jorge Martin will continue his quest to become MotoGP World Champion in 2024 when the 16th round of the season, the Grand Prix of Japan, takes place on Sunday morning, October 6, at the Mo-bility Resort Motegi. Martin of Prima Pramac won his first Grand Prix since May, dominating the full-length race in In-donesia this weekend, giving him a 21-point lead over Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati Lenovo in the Riders' Championship. Speaking after his triumph, Martin admitted that the memories of previous crashes weighed on his mind midway through the race in Indonesia. “Yeah, I got revenge from Mandalika,” noted the Spaniard. “After last season’s crash, [Sunday] was a difficult race, and after [Saturday’s] crash [in the Sprint Race] also. After 13 laps, I had some ghosts on my mind in corner 11, and then every lap in corner 16. “I was trying to be really careful. We had a lot of wind from the side in that part. I was struggling to turn; it was like if I were riding a scooter. I know I was losing a lot in that part to [Pedro] Acosta [who finished second], but I was thinking, ‘Okay, if I lose here, I push in other parts’. “So, I think I was really careful understanding the situation at the start of the race and then trying to push a bit more every lap. Acosta was incredible; he was pushing. Even the laps that I was trying to make a gap, he was staying at under one second. So, for sure, he is strong, and I’m happy I per-formed really well.” Bagnaia, meanwhile, won the Sprint Race on the Indonesian weekend but was hampered by a poor start in the Grand Prix and has called on Ducati to fix the issues that have plagued him in recent races. “As soon as possible [the problem needs to be fixed], because in the last two seasons I was always perfect on the start in the last four Grand Prix since Aragon that I’m starting every time in a differ-ent way and every time bad,” Bagnaia explained. “[Sunday] was different than [Saturday]. [Saturday] was not too bad. This morning was good, but this afternoon I wheelied and I spun [the rear].” He added, “I tried to do the same start as yesterday, but the clutch had a different reaction, then I had a little wheelie, and the rear started to spin. I didn’t lose many positions, but after the start I was a bit too careful in the first laps.” Martin won last season’s Japanese Grand Prix, while Marc Marquez is the most successful rider on the grid in this event, having claimed MotoGP wins in 2016, 2018, and 2019.
