Championship leader Jorge Martin suggested on Thursday that his nearest rival and close friend Francesco Bagnaia should give him some advice on how to close out his first title at this weekend's Grand Prix of Barcelona.
Martin goes into the final meeting with a 24-point lead over Bagnaia, which is almost the reverse of last season when the Italian successfully defended a 21-point advantage going into the final race.
Martin would take the title if he wins today's sprint but if he makes any mistakes Bagnaia could snatch it away from him.
"Maybe "Pecco" (Bagnaia) can give me advice because he was like this last year," Martin told a pre-race press conference before outlining his new strategy this season.
