Pablo Motos wanted to start ‘El Hormiguero’ paying tribute to Concha Velasco. «One of the most generous people who has gone through this program, we need the entire team to remember her. “When she entered a room it lit up,” the presenter proclaimed excitedly, before giving way to Jorge Martín, the Moto GP world runner-up. The pilot was amazed. “For me it is a dream to be here,” he stated, remembering that he has seen the space since he was a child. And to reciprocate Motos, he gave her his signed jumpsuit.

Motos started the talk by asking him about his last race. «I didn’t lose the World Cup there, that one was very complicated. But my goal for the year was the top 3, so I’m happy with what I’ve done,” he said, satisfied. And he added: «I enjoyed it a lot because there were a lot of fans singing yes we can. I told myself I was going to enjoy it. I had the worst time between Thailand and Qatar, in October. I was very obsessed with winning, I got angry with the team, and I saw that it was not working. “So I changed the chip,” he admitted, bragging about his colleagues. “I really like being a team, we are laughing all day, but in those races I was tense,” he explained.

In one of the tests, he knocked Marc Márquez off the motorcycle. «I was surprised by his attitude because he told me that he would have done the same. He took it well. “I wanted to have one of his helmets and we changed it two days later,” he revealed, pondering his rival, although he is not the one he gets along with the most. «I get along very well with Aleix Espargaró, we are like brothers. He has taken care of me a lot. With the others I don’t pretend to be his friend, they are rivals. I want to be respectful, but here… the last one is faggot! », he declared. A comment that he did not like on social networks, which have described him as homophobic.

«I am a very competitive person. If I get scratched, I even want to get into the elevator before you. This summer, I was with my girl playing backgammon, which I didn’t know, and when she lost she made me angry and I stopped talking to her. She frustrated me a lot. I have to win at everything,” admitted ‘Martineitor’, who also releases a documentary. «They are going to see a more personal Jorge. Coming from such a humble family, you will see the person I really am. They will know me a little more because sometimes they say that I am a bit cocky, and I am not. There are very bad people who only seek criticism and harm,” he denounced.

The pilot remembered his beginnings and claimed the role of his parents, who were transcendental in his career. «There was a time when both my parents were unemployed. I don’t remember a vacation outside of Spain with my family. The effort they have made with me is tremendous,” he offered sincerely. And then he looked to the future. «I see myself as a champion. But that requires many things. You always have to tighten the screw a little and be better than the previous one,” he predicted, discovering something anecdotal before saying goodbye. “More than once I have vomited in the helmet, because of the position,” he revealed.
