Gigi Dall’Igna praises Martín’s maturity after duel with Márquez: ‘He had more to lose and got to increased the advantage over Bagnaia’

Ducati Corse General Manager, Gigi Dall’Igna, praised Jorge Martín’s performance, who despite facing an intense battle with Marc Márquez, showed great maturity and strategic intelligence during the race. Dall’Igna highlighted that Martín, in contrast to Márquez, had more at stake but managed the situation wisely.

‘Even facing a Martín who, truth be told, undoubtedly had more to lose than Márquez, Jorge tried to prevail, with great merit, but not at any cost’ observed the Ducati head on LinkedIn.

Martín’s cautious approach was crucial to his success, as pointed out by Dall’Igna: ‘He started well and stayed in front until the last laps, not backing down when it was time to engage in an exciting fight with Marc. However, after giving his all, he prudently considered the importance of scoring points, which were fundamental’.

With this attitude, Jorge Martín not only avoided unnecessary risks but also increased his advantage over Francesco Bagnaia, now with a 20-point difference: ‘Fast and with the right maturity, he got to increase the advantage to +20 over Pecco’, added Dall’Igna, recognizing the Spanish rider’s growth as a competitor capable of balancing aggressiveness and strategy.

Gigi Dall’Igna’s analysis highlights Jorge Martín’s evolution as a complete rider, who not only stands out for his speed but also for his ability to manage the championship with intelligence.
