Martin explains letting Marquez past in MotoGP Sprint

Tyre pressure regulations, not pace, decided this sprint result — Martin's admission that the win was within reach makes the outcome more frustrating to read, not less. The pressure rules are a known constraint every rider manages, but when they force a leader to yield position mid-race, the sporting picture gets complicated fast. A late mistake on top of the concession means Martin left with nothing from a race he felt he had controlled, which is the kind of double loss that compounds in a championship. How Aprilia and Martin manage that pressure window going forward is now a legitimate tactical question, not just a setup footnote.
