Jorge Martin Aims for First MotoGP Title in Barcelona

Jorge Martin leads the MotoGP championship by 24 points over reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia ahead of the final race in Barcelona, needing only to win the sprint on Saturday to secure his first title. Martin expressed a relaxed attitude compared to last year's tense finale, emphasizing that the championship means more for his team than for him personally. Bagnaia acknowledged his own mistakes this season but remains proud of his 10 race wins, stating he would be happy for Martin if he wins. Both riders noted their long-standing rivalry and respect for each other, with Bagnaia admitting that Martin's consistency has outperformed his own this year. The final race was moved to Barcelona due to flooding in Valencia, adding to the season's drama. As the championship comes to a close, both riders are focused on delivering their best performance despite the stakes.
