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

francehd

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.

This weekend, the 26-year-old is poised to achieve something never before seen in the modern MotoGP era as the first rider from an independent team to win the world title, currently holding a 24-point advantage over rival Pecco Bagnaia.

But just three years ago, Martin’s MotoGP dream almost ended after it had barely begun.

In April 2021, he was on a roll following a stunning introduction to life in the premier class of bike racing. Fresh from a pole position and a third place in only his second ever MotoGP race, Martin arrived at the third round of the championship in Portugal believing the world was at his feet.

“When I arrived in MotoGP in 2021, I started too good, let’s say,” Martin tells CNN, smiling. “The second race I was already in pole position. I was leading 20 laps of the Qatar GP, or 18, and then I finished on the podium in my second race. So, I thought I was the new king of MotoGP. I said, ‘Okay, it’s too easy. These guys, I can beat them all.’”

But the infamous rollercoaster of a track in Portimão was a tougher challenge. “I was like 15th or 16th in free practice,” Martin recalls. “And I said, ‘Okay, I need to make something.’ So, then I tried a bit too much already in the out lap.”

On still-cool tires, Martin lost control of his Prima Pramac Ducati, sending bike and rider violently cartwheeling into the gravel at terrifying speed. “It was a big crash,” he says. “I lost consciousness for 10 or 15 minutes, so it was crazy.”

The accident left Martin with multiple broken bones all over his body. He admits he almost quit the sport completely. “It was, like, nine bones and some ligaments. So, it was tough,” he explains. “At some point I went from, you know, being at the height, like, ‘I am the King’ and ‘I am the best’ to wanting to leave – to leave motorbikes. I thought it was not worth it, going through all that pain and all that suffering.”

A month later, however, Martin was back on a bike and has steadily improved ever since. In 2023, he took the title race to the final round, only missing out to the dominant reigning world champion, Ducati’s Bagnaia.

Martin’s 2023 campaign was an action-packed, all-or-nothing affair at times. This year, he says he has reined in his instincts and changed his approach to both racing and life.

“Last season, I could say I was really obsessed with winning, just trying to win, and the only thought I had on my mind was winning,” he tells CNN.

“So, this year I changed the approach. I just wanted to be better every day trying to give my 100 percent. If that 100 percent is a fourth position, I’m happy with that. If that hundred percent is a first – better, no?

“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.”

It’s a philosophy that has paid clear dividends, with Martin’s consistent podium finishes matched by a calm demeanor off the track.

“We have achieved a lot of good results, I think, also in my personal life,” he says. “I improved a lot every day, so I try to be a better man and a better rider and a better athlete. So, this is my target, and then winning is a consequence.”

Martin also believes he has matured with age and notes the lack of life experience of those entering the paddock.

“(Riders) arrive to this level, MotoGP level, at 20 years old, 21 years old, so you are a rookie in life, no? For sure, you know how to ride motorbikes, but in terms of lifestyle, you just don’t know. You need to experience new things,” he explains.

“When I was younger … I hung out a bit more. I was single, so I just wanted to have fun. But then you learn during the years, maybe. What I learned the most is the balance, I think. So, in summer I have my days to rest and enjoy. But then the opposite; when I’m focused, I am a hundred percent.”
