MARTIN

DOB : 1998-01-29 Birthplace : MADRID Height : 168 CM Weight : 62 KG
Martín joined the Moto3™ World Championship in 2015 , after winning the Red Bull Rookies Cup the year before . He scored a season best seventh in MotorLand Aragon while riding a Mahindra and remained with the team in 2016 to register his first podium in a rain-hit race in Brno . For 2017 , the Spaniard moved to Del Conca Gresini Racing Moto3™ to replace Enea Bastianini and despite a nasty leg break during free practice for the German Grand Prix , he placed fourth overall in a year that saw him rack up nine pole positions and nine podium finishes , including a long-awaited debut triumph at the Grand Prix of Valencia . 2018 would be Martin ’ s year as he emerged victorious in a year-long fight with Marco Bezzecchi after scoring seven victories . He then moved to Moto2 with Aki Ajo ’ s KTM squad in 2019 but with limited success . A switch to a Kalex chassis in 2020 brought about two race wins . Ducati saw enough to hand him a seat in the Pramac squad . He scored a remarkable pole position and third place in just his second race but a huge crash in Portugal saw him miss the races in Portimao , Jerez , Le Mans and Mugello . He showed he has recovered sufficient fitness over recent months and won his first MotoGP™ race at the Styrian Grand Prix . On the evidence of that weekend , it will be the first of many .
