Pramac’s Jorge Martin says Gresini Ducati counterpart Alex Marquez’s pace on his way to victory in the MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix sprint was “difficult to believe”.
Marquez jumped from fourth on the grid to secure his second sprint win of the season, beating Martin by over 1.5s on his year-old Ducati.The Spaniard fought hard with early race leader Francesco Bagnaia, as well as Martin, on his way to the front of the pack and showed vastly superior pace to both.Martin felt he could have won the sprint, but admits Marquez’s pace was too good for him and he’s not sure how.“Was complicated, because I saw he had half a second ,” he said about racing Marquez.
“So, I thought I was going to overtake him and pull away. But finally Alex had something more today. He was faster than us.“But I was able to recover, starting from the beginning my front pressure went crazy, so high, because we expected to be first and second and I was fourth, and everything was so complicated.“And when I got used to that riding in a different way, I was able to recover the gap to Pecco and pull away.“That was the most important thing.
