Jorge Martin had an almost perfect race weekend at the Red Bull Ring – had it not been for KTM rider Pedro Acosta. Even so, pole position, a sprint victory and second place in the Grand Prix make for an impressive record. In Spielberg, the ‘Martinator’ was really in his element. He also managed to reclaim the championship lead – champion Marc Márquez (Ducati) could only manage second and fifth places. With seven races remaining this season, Martin leads by 12 points.
Next week, the Asia and Australia tour gets underway in Japan. Like his colleagues in the premier class, Martin is also using the time to prepare for the gruelling final third of the season. Among other things, the Spaniard is training on his road bike.
California-based eyewear manufacturer
Jorge Martin recently posted pictures on his Instagram account showing him from an unusual angle. In the photos, the Aprilia rider can be seen wearing a suit with a bow tie and black sunglasses. The reason: Martin is a brand ambassador for ‘100%’. The US company, based in San Diego, manufactures sports and sunglasses. The brand enjoys a high profile, particularly in cycling and motocross.
In a few days’ time, Martin will be slipping back into his black leather leathers. The Japanese Grand Prix takes place at the Twin Ring Motegi from 2 to 4 October. Last year, Martin broke his right collarbone there in a crash during the MotoGP Sprint.
