1. Jorge Martín served as Jorge Martín.
In the morning in Q2, Martín does things that ‘do not belong’ to him; In the afternoon race, when they let Jorge be Jorge Martín, he nailed it. Excellent victory and open championship for tomorrow. His way of running produced a ‘yes we can!’ of fans. At 14 points out of 25 it’s tough, but…
2. The ‘mess’ of the first round.
Bagnaia took advantage of his position on the starting grid to reach the end of the straight first. In the second corner, Viñales caught him. The next to hit the bike was Martín and in an attempt to avoid him he went wide and was overtaken by Binder and Márquez. He crossed the finish line in fifth place on the first lap.
3. The choice of rear wheel.
Martín and Binder’s choice of rear tire in its softest version proved to be good, compared to the medium compound fitted by Maverick Viñales or Pecco Bagnaia. Instead tomorrow, with double the number of laps in the race, the rear medium tire will be used.
4. The attitude of Marc Márquez.
If in Qatar two weeks ago, Márquez said he restrained himself by chasing Martín to avoid trouble, here Marc came out of everything. This is evidenced by the black tire mark on Jorge’s shoulder where he finished the race. Tomorrow, with Márquez’s persistence, anything can happen.
5. The damn pressures.
Three drivers were penalized after the race for not complying with minimum pressures. Marini and Morbidelli received a 3 second penalty at the finish line. In the expected race tomorrow, this is a factor that can completely change the result that happens on the track. Penalties will be known only after the race is over
