Jorge Martin Last Sunday, he was unable to meet with the press after the Buddha race, where he finished second, due to complete dehydration.He ended up exhausted and developed lipoporax, scaring his doctor himself angel chart, Championship medical officers thought they would have to defibrillate him on the spot. I made a full recovery this Thursday at Motegi.martinator“I felt better after five hours. By Monday I was pretty weak,” he said, but by Tuesday he was able to train, rest, complete a lap around the circuit and “not be ready for the weekend.” “I am,” he declared. ”.

Four days later, he said: “It was hell for me to finish. With eight laps to go I realized something was wrong. I was shaking but I had a small margin with Fabio so I was able to finish. I was able to do it.” Although, he took it back for me when I had to close the suit and when I had to strain to calm down, the effort pushed me over the edge. I let it fall, but Angel Charte did a great job of getting me back up, so I didn’t. I didn’t pass out and was able to get on the podium. ”
“At the start, I noticed that I was sweating too much. It’s not normal to sweat before starting a race. But at that point I didn’t think it was important, but with only 8 minutes left By lap or nine I was sweating.”I realized that I was in a lot of trouble mentally and I was physically weak. I think all the big moments, like not being able to run away from Pekko, the monkey thing, watching TV, all kind of built up little by little…”
Martin admitted that he was not carrying a 400cc bag of hydration fluid on his back, a “camel bag”, during the race. Place it on the monkey’s hump and take the tube out of it. “I wasn’t wearing a camelback, but that wasn’t the reason. I got dehydrated and everything got complicated at that moment. I was trying to close my eyes straight to rest and get some energy. However, on the last lap, “I lost concentration with 1.5 seconds left and went out, and I had to take a risk by overtaking Fabio to get back the four points, but who knows?” ” continued Jorge Martin.
Adding to that was the issue of the jumpsuit’s zipper falling off. “We studied it with Alpinestars and it seems like they didn’t zip the suit properly. It stayed open a little bit and then it started to open up. We noticed it with eight laps to go, and They tried to finish it that way in preparation for them.” I didn’t realize it, but I saw it on the big screen at the circuit and when I tried to close it, I couldn’t do it on the straight, but I was able to do it later in Turn 11. I only lost one second and was able to recover after that. distance from Fabio.

Also here I have my first Moto2 podium. “I’ve been to Motegi twice in the past.”I’m confident that I can return to the podium at the right time.

The fact that Motegi can be removed from the leadership position does not change his view. ”We are more in the championship race than ever, but we continue to have the same spirit of recovering points, enjoying the race and aiming for the win.i have dAnd enjoy the moment. I feel like I’m in the best moment of my career, so I have to try to win races, stay ahead in training and enjoy this moment. The rest will come naturally. ”
