“I was telling myself who is the number one! This weekend I was the number one, absolutely.”
After losing the lead off the start to Bagnaia, Martin waited until the final few laps before beginning his charge for the lead.“On the limit” Fabio Quartararo: “Better to crash from 6th than 12th”
“I’m really happy about this. Arriving here, we were seated here four days ago on Thursday and I didn’t expect to do these results. I’m really happy about this. “I was a bit wide so he could attack back but the second time I did it perfectly. I took the risk to brake a bit more. After setting a new lap record, qualifying on pole and winning the sprint, Martin’s win was another clear message to Ducati of who the top rider in MotoGP is so far in 2024.
“They are incredible champions and I’m not a MotoGP champion. I’m really happy to be in this position today.”
