1. Martín and the short race format.
The ‘sprint’ format suits Jorge’s explosiveness like a glove. And if, as he did tonight, he takes advantage of the pole to reach the first corner of the race, the result is written. Finishing the race is not as easy as it seems, but Martín knows how to manage his problems very well.
2. The determination of Aleix Espargaró.
He was able to make up for it by driving very well on the twisty part of the circuit for the difference in top speed to the Ducati on the straight. Aprilia is a motorcycle that prefers long races and curved areas. Great ‘grandpa’ premiere, told with love.
3. The 2024 MotoGP takes off in Lusail.
Just a few months ago, at the 2023 Qatar GP, Jorge Martín took 20:52.634 to complete the short race; Tonight he covered the same distance in 20:41.287. So his fastest lap was 1:53.355; now he stops the stopwatch at 1:52153. Tomorrow, in a long race, it will be impossible for them to do that speed.
4. Acosta’s first MotoGP start.
Normally, Pedro had a pile of work when he got to the first corner. He braked very ‘softly’, he didn’t let go of the ‘holeshot’ and passed him everywhere. Then he recovered, he made his first overtakes in MotoGP, but his career was doomed in that first corner.
5. The battle in Marc’s first laps.
Marc himself admitted after finishing the race that the give-and-take with Di Giannantonio in the early stages of the race forced him to push hard to reach the leading group – he set the fastest lap of the race -, which -overheat in the tires. From there, his potential was limited.
