Intriguing comment. Marc's been the fastest Ducati lately, but Martin hasn't been the fastest Aprilia. As ever with Marquez, mind games with a smile!

So I asked the question to people who know way better and then looked at the rule book: Martin didn't break the rules, here's why ⬇️

This is just massive loser behaviour

Jorge Martin just found out the hard way that fighting Marc Marquez for the MotoGP championship is not a "privilege" - it's a nightmare!

Can't view this as anything other than a massive middle finger to Dorna and Liberty to have your superstar in your own press conference bodyslam a new race weekend format you're desperately trying to pass off as a good thing.

Removing warm-up pretty much sends a rider who had a crash or mechanical straight into a race without having tested their bike. That’s dangerous and also bad for the show if someone, especially a big name, can’t start. At least the terribly-designated ‘Practice’ is gone.

Game one of a season in which we are projected to finish last... but nobody told Kevin Lankinen that 😱

This type of behaviour has always seemed wild to me. And, really, there's not a lot that can be done. But it sure would make a considerable difference if the driver of said fanbase made much stronger statements calling out this behaviour.
