Jorge Martin leads at Sachsenring in 2024 MotoGP German GP

2024 German MotoGP

It hardly seems right to call the reigning MotoGP champion a tortoise, but Sunday’s German Grand Prix definitely had something of the tortoise-and-hare fable about it.

Jorge Martin went haring into the lead, burning his tyres, while Pecco Bagnaia made haste slowly.

The race also perfectly summed up their racing psyches: Martin, always hammer down, Bagnaia, always (well, nearly always) taking a touchy, feely approach and thinking, always thinking.
