Francesco Bagnaia has praised Jorge Martin’s current approach, noting that the Spaniard is successfully repeating the strategy that led to his 2024 championship title.
The reigning champion observed that Martin is focusing on consistency and high-level performance in every session, making him a formidable opponent once again.
Martin’s ability to secure podiums even when he isn’t the fastest rider on track is seen as a key factor in his bid to defend the crown.
Bagnaia admitted that this disciplined method is admirable, as it forces other riders to push their limits while minimizing their own mistakes.
The rivalry between the two Ducati stars continues to intensify, with both athletes utilizing technical data and mental focus to stay ahead of the pack.
As the season progresses, Martin’s reliance on his proven winning formula suggests that the battle for the 2026 title will be just as competitive as previous years.
