Explained: How Jorge Martin should have avoided baffling Misano mistake
Jorge Martin decision attributed to "panic"
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin should have been led by information from his garage, and not made a decision based on gut-instinct to avoid his San Marino MotoGP disaster, he has been told.
The championship contender was the first rider at𒐪 Misano on Sunday tꦡo pit for his wet bike, as raindrops fell.
He rejoined a lap later by which time his error was obvious, forcing him to box aga⭕in and rejoin a lapped 15🐼th.
Martin cat🐲astrophically finished 15th (Marc Marquez won a🐈head of Pecco Bagnaia). Martin’s championship lead ahead of Bagnaia has been cut to seven points.
As he boldly pulled in, with rain only in its earliest stages, TNT🐓 Sports commentator Neil Hodgson yelled: “This is a mista𒁃ke, it’s dry! “He had one little scare, and panicked!”
Michael Laverty later analysed how Martin came to his decision - and w🍒hat he should have done instead.
“It’s always the rider who make🐷s the call,” Laverty said. “Sometimes you will a🐻sk for signals on your pitboard or your dash. But today there wasn’t time.
“The rain only began to fall heavily at Tramonto, they went through Curvone and he had a littl🦋e moment and went off-track. He immediately panicked and thought ‘I 🅰am going to make the decision early’.
“Sometimes it is the right call. But 🐼with the radars, all the information, it wasn’t telling us that there would be heavy rainfall.
“History is that it will be a light bit of rain. It’s not going to wet the track. He panicked, made the wrong decision, had to make a double pitstop to c♈hange back.
ღ“It’s frustrating for him and the whole Prama♐c team.”
Hไodgson added: "There is an unspoken rule, in that situation if it starts to drizzle, yo🌼u keep your eye on your main championship rivals.
"He was in the 🍃perfect position, sat behind Pecco.
"[If he was leading], and he came in, and everybody else went out then it would be a mistake. But [bo🃏xing from third, behind Bagnaia] makes the mistake bigger.
"He has made no mistakes this year. Yes, he crashed in Germany. But his decision-maki💙ng on the race track has been♏ outstanding.
"But this could haunt him for the rest of his life. He had a 26-point lead in the champio🌠nship!
"It wasn't worth the gamble, and it did not♌ paꦫy off."
'You do not gamble', Jorge Martin told
Laverty continued: “𒈔It beggars belief, to be honest.
“To be in control of every emotion he’s dealt with this season, then have a split-second𒁏 decision…
“He had all of the information. He ꧅had Pecco in front of him. You mark your ch🃏ampionship rival, in these scenarios.
“You do not gamble. You do it if you’🅺re outside the points.
“I just do not know what Martin was 💯thinking. It’s the first time he’s blinked all year, and not done the right thing.
“Nineteen points, essentially, he has given away to Bagnaia, on ﷽a day where he didn’t need to. He was in control. The pressure gets to everyone.
“Pecco dealt with it well. Martin has been through this before - at the Sachsenring he threw away a 🅰potential 25 points - but he bounced back.
“I really didn’t see it happening, I didn’t see Martin mak⛄ing that type of mistake.”
Laverty continuꦏed: “Jorge has to brush this off. It was an error of judgement. He made the wrong call and will be frustrated.”
Mot�🗹�oGP riders will be back on the Misano track on Monday for the official test.
The racing resumes in a fortnight -🐭 again at Misano - for the Emilia-Romagna Mot💯oGP.
