Son with Padock with breath, George martin Returned to track with Aprilia during Friday’s practice sessions Czech Grand Prix,
The first practice session was held in the event of drying, with a dry line emerging in a 45 -minute session. Martin is taking things easy, a sensible option, which is a sensible option given its Aprilia team-met. Marco Bezchi And A Ogura Got down during the tough session, as he recorded his first presence in an official motorogi session since he crashed into Qatar GP and suffered from serious injuries including several broken ribs.
“Happy to compete again,” Martin said, the first practice finished the 17th and 2.5 at a lump sum. “I remember this feeling very much and simply focused. It was a really demanding day, all these situations were placed on the track. We were always to focus. The dry line was really narrow in some corners, so it was difficult to be constantly. I missed stability by staying out for many months.”
With the opening of Pitlane after a 20 -minute delay, the afternoon practice session was stopped due to heavy rains. Martin looked very strong this time because the track was wet enough for the riders to stay on a wet tire. After capturing the top 10 top 10 of the top 10, Spaniard shot to the fourth place, with 10 minutes left on the clock. He was in fifth place on the checker flag, just more than the seventh tenth. Mark marksSession-topping time.
“In the afternoon, I felt super -centric, super coherent,” explained by Aprilia Rider. “In fact, it was really emotional after finishing in the top five, not because of the result, but because I am back. I have done a great job today. I’m really happy.”
While his pace was certainly impressive in view of the situation, Martin was noticed whether he felt the conditions about his performance were a major factor, but the Spaniard is optimistic for the remaining weekend.

“I don’t know, we’ll see tomorrow,” Martin said. “I miss that continuity with my lines because in the morning, I felt that I could not make any mistake. Sometimes I was widening, it took me out like four or five laps.
“I think I will be six or seven (on Saturday) morning. In both situations, I am strong, but I don’t want to expect anything from tomorrow. Try to compete with 100%, to improve, now, now the main goal.”
It seemed to be sure that the Motogp was getting the world champion to capture and work for his confidence, so his speed in the afternoon session picked the eyebrows, both of the pitlane supervisors as well as rider.
“I was surprised because it was the first time in the wet on this bike and in the wet for the first time after last season,” Martin said. “So I think I felt a lot of response from the tires as soon as I got out and straight out.
“I can’t be really optimistic when I go to the corners because I don’t know what is going to happen. So I would start feeling things, but as soon as I put some more on the tire, I was always in the top four, top five.”
Asked how the handling of the bike was and if it was similar to the test she had completed in the first Munu, was very grateful for the 27 -year test session.

“Thanks to Aprilia because he pushed a lot for that test,” Martin said. “It was super important. I remember there was no camera in the test, no people, I was really able to ride slowly and smoothly, trying to go into a bike A (comfortable) position.
“Now that we have (a comfortable) position, I think it’s my bike, so it’s fantastic. We have a lot of work to do, but I want to be super optimistic. We still have to work on the situation, but the spirit is good, the base set-up is good.”
