Jorge Martin had to surrender the championship lead to Marc Marquez after finishing fourth in the Mandalika Sprint Race, securing six crucial points for his title campaign.
The Spanish rider's performance was heavily hampered by a tyre pressure miscalculation during the short race at the Indonesian venue. Difficult afternoon track conditions, characterized by dropping temperatures and high humidity, made it extremely hard to keep the front tyre within the optimal operating window.
"Ha habido un error, digamos, a la hora de hacer las presiones. Esta pista es de las mas complicadas porque por la tarde baja la temperatura, sube la humedad y esto tambien me estaba enfriando la rueda," explained Martin to DAZN, detailing how he was forced to alter his on-track approach.
Despite a late mistake that saw him run wide while trying to recover positions, the reigning world champion refused to point fingers at his mechanics, emphasizing unity and collective responsibility within the garage.
"La verdad que me encontraba bien, me encontraba rapido, ya la tenia casi hecha, ya era una cuestion de gestionar esa distancia y es una pena el haber estado fuera de presiones. Pero bueno, igual que yo fallo, mi equipo a veces falla y al final pues estamos todos aqui para ganar y perder juntos," he added.
Prior to the technical setback, Jorge Martin produced a stellar start from fifth on the grid, rocketing straight into the lead at the opening corner after taking advantage of mistakes from his rivals ahead.
