There was a point when you suspected he was just being badly advised but I think we’ve now had confirmation that’s he’s just a bit of a prick. https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1...llout-i-have-no-regrets-i-dont-need-apologise
Having watched his interview on motogp.com , I think he lost confidence in the project when lying in the hospital bed with very serious injuries. Got to think his agent was the main issue though. He has made the right decision to remain. The correct choice for him and Aprilia. Todays times in the wet were impressive considering his lack of track time too. imo, Ducati twice have made the wrong decision about Jorge, looking elsewhere for a factory rider.
Yes. At his age you would think going off the boil. But no signs yet! Martin is one of two or three riders imo that can take it to Marc. Loads more years left in Martin as well though and foolish to lose him to the competition. I hope he comes back to haunt Ducati.
He was impressive today tbf I liked seeing him trying to latch onto the back of Bez first thing to see what he’d been up to. Who are the other riders who can take it to 93?
His brother, Martin when fit. Maybe Bez. Though tbh Marc always looks like he has something left in reserve.
His bro is nearly 100 points behind him and it’s not even August. I wouldn’t really call that taking it to him! For me the only rider on that grid who can realistically take it to him on track and not give a shit about his mind games is Fabio (with the right package/equal machinery). Sadly I doubt we’ll ever see that.
