Jorge Martin says he was convinced he made the right tyre choice at the Australian MotoGP, but that the last four laps were like a ‘bad nightmare’.
The Pramac Ducati rider blew to possible wins after crashing from the lead at Mandalika, before leading all-but one lap in Phillip Island.
Martin then used the soft rear tyre in Phillip Island which looked to be a good choice until grip deteriorated with four laps remaining. “But I was fast, this keeps me alive, knowing that I have the speed. My mentality is always to attack, to try to win both races. “Sometimes when you’re fast with both tyres, it is difficult to understand. I took the gamble - but, for me, it wasn’t a gamble but I thought it was the right choice.”Martin has since fallen 27 points behind Francesco Bagnaia in just two races.
