Jorge Martin “struggling” at Mandalika, says Marc Marquez’s pace is “better”

Jorge Martin has conceded he “struggled” through Friday practice at the Indonesian Grand Prix despite finishing third-quickest, attributing his difficulties to tyre temperature issues.

As Raul Fernandez set the pace in Practice with a new lap record on the Trackhouse-run Aprilia, factory rider Martin finished a distant third behind the countryman and his team-mate Marco Bezzecchi , facing a 0.481s deficit to the front.
