After the fiasco of the MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix, where Jorge Martin crashed six times and came away with zero points, the visit to Mugello last weekend represented the other side of the coin for the Aprilia rider. Martin recovered from the setback and his physical injuries to score 29 points in Barcelona, with second places on both Saturday and Sunday.
With four victories in the first seven rounds of the championship, it is evident that, right now, the strongest man on the MotoGP grid is Martin’s team-mate Marco Bezzecchi. The Italian became a steamroller at Mugello to cross the finish line 3.5 seconds ahead of Martin and led Aprilia to its first 1-2 finish in Italy.
