Jorge Martin did the double last year in Thailand and is confident that he can do it again this weekend.
With three rounds left of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship, Jorge Martin has a 20-point lead. There are six races between the Prima Pramac Racing rider and his first MotoGP title.
This weekend MotoGP visit the Chang International Circuit for the Thai Grand Prix. This is a circuit that Martin has had success at in previous visits. In 2023 Martin did the double in Thailand as he won the Sprint Race and the Grand Prix.
The 26-year-old arrives in Thailand on a strong run of form from the previous rounds. Last weekend at Phillip Island Martin won the Sprint Race and finished second in the Grand Prix. Before this, he had won in Indonesia and finished second in Japan.
"I am happy that I am still battling for the Championship," Martin said on Thursday before the Thai Grand Prix.
"For sure I am in a good moment. We came from Indonesia, Japan and Australia which were all really, really good.
"Australia was really good, I wanted to win, but now I am confident about this race. It will be really hot, it will be difficult, I think both Marc (Marquez) and Pecco (Bagnaia) will be strong. So, I think it will be a really tough weekend."
Martin is entering his final three MotoGP rounds with Prima Pramac Racing and Ducati. For the 2025 season, Martin will join Aprilia Racing and has the chance to take the #1 plate to Aprilia with him.
