This race result marks Jorge Martin extended his Championship lead to 15 points. - Jorge Martin said, “It's always nice to win. Here we were strong and I had to take the opportunity. I wasn't at 100% and was struggling a bit even though I was able to gain those positions. Then I tried to put a strong pace while managing the front and rear tyres. Tomorrow will be a long race but for the moment I'm really happy. I had to overtake really fast because if I was back behind I would have gone backwards. The pressures are always complicated. We did our best and it was a victory. Tomorrow we will try again. It was a clever move and was a good one. Pecco was defending a lot under braking. At that point I knew he wouldn't expect a move. Tomorrow I hope to stay first in the first corner because to overtake him, he will be prepared everywhere.”
