MotoGP title contender Jorge Martin has played down the future implications of his official warning for low tyre pressure on his way to victory in Buriram.
has played down the future implications of his official warning for low tyre pressure on his way to victory in Buriram.But, as reported, if Martin is below the specified minimums in any of the remaining six races he will now be hit with what could be a title deciding 3-second post-race time penalty.With their margin for error now gone, Pramac is sure to pick conservative starting tyre pressures for Martin in the remaining rounds.
This is to allow for the fact that all riders start on relatively ‘cold’ tyres, and therefore below the specified pressure, which should then rise above the minimum once the tyres are up to racing speed. While manipulating tyre pressure is largely out of a rider’s control during a race, Martin indicated he might deliberately sit in the hot air of another bike if he receives a low-pressure warning on his dash.
That means the #1 can enjoy the performance benefits of a riskier starting pressure, safe in the knowledge that his race result will not change if he ends up being under for too long.
