Jorge Martin: Swashbuckling bike racer poised to make history in MotoGP season finale

CNN  

CNN — With movie star looks, a penchant for the high life, and a daring racing style that leaves fans gasping at his audacity, Jorge Martin is something of a throwback to swashbuckling motorcycle racers of a bygone era. “When I arrived in MotoGP in 2021, I started too good, let’s say,” Martin tells CNN, smiling. These guys, I can beat them all.’” Video Ad Feedback Jorge Martin reflects on career-defining MotoGP season 01:01 - Source: CNN But the infamous rollercoaster of a track in Portimão was a tougher challenge. “But the thing is, from my point of view, just to think, ‘what can I do to be a better rider and better person and better in, you know, all my life?’ And this was my goal for this season, and for the moment, it’s been amazing.” Martin crashes heavily in Portugal three years ago. “I think it’s good to race here, you know … and we will bring more money to them because they need it.” Win or lose, the weekend will mean a big change for Martin, as he will leave the Prima Pramac team to join the factory Aprilia squad.
