Jorge Martin says he knew he 'had to win” the Thailand Grand Prix sprint with MotoGP title rival Francesco Bagnaia starting seventh, but doesn’t need to ‘obsess’ over him.
The Pramac rider converted pole to his fifth-successive sprint victory and seventh of the season to cut Bagnaia’s championship lead down to 18 points. Having started sixth, Bagnaia could do no more than seventh in the sprint, later blaming time lost at the start and being stuck behind a “useless” battle between Johann Zarco and Alex Marquez for compromising him.
“When Brad was second I had to push a little bit more, and maybe I crash, maybe not. But I tried to be on the track and be safe till the end.' Martin said after Friday’s practice sessions that he felt more ready for the sprint than the grand prix, but conceded after Saturday’s contest he wasn’t sure just where in the pecking order he was going to emerge. “I mean, it was difficult for me to understand how the sprint was going to be because I was always with really used tyres ,” he said.
