Jorge Martín breaks the timer and Marc Márquez pulls out the claws, the notes of the ‘qualy’ of the Malaysian GP

BarcelonaThey didn’t choose him. Ducati had to make the decision of who occupied the second bike in the pit next to Pecco Bagnai and they ruled out Jorge Martín, the new poleman in malaysia The Italian brand had two candidates: the Italian Enea Bastianini or the Madrid Jorge Martín. The deliberations lasted most of the season and, despite Martín’s great performances, the chosen one was Bagnaia’s compatriot. The Madrid native, far from being coddled, denounces Ducati’s mistake at the stroke of pole.

Jorge Martín vindicates himself, again

He is a pilot with a magnetic character. The one from San Sebastian de los Reyes received a frustrating refusal from the official Ducati team a few Grands Prix ago. He rides a motorcycle of the Italian brand, but in the satellite team, and is more than ready to make the jump to the pit to accompany Bagnaia next season. The madrilenian, busy and frustrated, has received the ‘No’, but he has not been pampered. He has shown his character and, race by race, is asserting himself as a firm bet for the future. At the Malaysian GP he broke the timers and lowered, on two occasions, the record of the track to achieve the pole which makes him the favorite for tomorrow’s race (9am, DAZN).

Marc pulls out his claws

Catalan has lost character on a bad day. Márquez also had to go through Q1 after not setting a good time in practice to sit directly in Q2. There he tried to ride Bagnaia, but it was impossible to keep up with the Ducatis. Alone, the Catalan gritted his teeth and set the second best time in the first round. In Q2, he repeated the feat again. In Jorge Martín’s party, Cervera’s thunder has sneaked into the front row, between Ducatis, with the third best time of the day. Márquez raised his fist to the sky with force. On bad days he responds again. Marco is back.

Pecco is preparing the first match ball

The Ducati rider has his first World title within reach. The Italian, accompanied by his whole family in the pit, is very prepared for the first match ball of the season when there are only two races left. This is in box or girdle. Under pressure, however, Bagnaia drives like angels. He has learned from past mistakes. In Q1 he came out first and, alone after breaking away from the rest of the drivers who wanted to take his wheel, he was about to break the track record. With the best weather, his direct rivals for the World Cup awaited him in Q2, who, like him, had a session to forget. The leader of the World Cup has fallen, like Aleix Espargaró, and they will leave ninth and tenth respectively. Fabio Quartararo, who suffered an accident minutes before the qualy, will leave twelve The fight for the World Cup is over.
