Jorge Martin “not really enjoying on the bike” at low-grip Aragon MotoGP

Jorge Martin struggles with grip issues at Aragon MotoGP

— The Oogway View

A championship contender openly admitting he's not enjoying riding is worth paying attention to — it points to a specific setup or compound problem that hasn't been solved across a race weekend, not just a one-session anomaly. Aragon has historically been a circuit that exposes rear grip weaknesses, and when a rider of Martin's calibre says the feeling isn't there, it usually means the lap times will reflect it too. The candid language matters: 'not really enjoying' is how riders describe a fundamental disconnect between their riding style and what the bike is giving them, rather than a minor balance issue. How Pramac and Ducati respond before qualifying will tell you whether this is a known problem with a fix in hand or something they're still working through.
