The group of cars entered the heavy braking area of ​​Turn 1, and the race came to the last lap. At this moment, Peco was already behind Martin.

In the last few laps, Peco was chasing desperately, which made the Ducati factory team leader terrified.

This year, Peko's strength has increased again, but he was still a little weaker than Martin in the early stages.

The cars entered and exited the corners. Peco did not make any move at Turn 1. His car followed Martin steadily into the corner. In fact, he did not have enough distance to make a move. The gap between the two was 0.1, almost completely close.

The car upshifted, then downshifted and pulled back into Turn One.

"Peco is getting closer in Turn 2, should Martin speed up?"

"Martin must have received a reminder from the team and knew that Peko was behind him."

Wei Ran and Xiao Zhang spoke nervously as the group of cars came out of the corner and entered Turn 2. The tilted car body stood up and then tilted again. Peko shortened the distance between the two again. At the front row, only the third and second place were still fighting, and the championship was no longer possible.

I pressed my knees hard and passed Turn 2 smoothly, then stepped on the throttle to enter Turn 3.

"Peko didn't make a move at Turn 2, and the next one is Turn 3!"

The group of cars turned out of the corner and entered Turn 3, then accelerated in a straight line and approached the Turn 4 corner in front. The straight line here is very long, and the drivers can finally step on the accelerator with more force.

"Will Peco choose to make a move here at Turn 4? This is a good overtaking area!"

Xiao Zhang said while holding the microphone.

Turn 4 is also a heavy braking corner like Turn 1. This kind of heavy braking corner is very suitable for attacking. Turn 1 and Turn 4 are also one of the two best corners for overtaking on this track.

"Turn 4, Peko takes the inside line! Martin, be careful!"

As soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking, Peko launched an attack.

On the inside of Turn 4, Peco attacked decisively, and he had a good grasp of the timing and speed of his shot, causing the fans in the field to scream in surprise.

Everyone knew that there would be a battle between these two, but they didn't expect it to start at Turn 4.

"Look, Peko is taking action!"

"Yeah, we can see the battle between the two of them again this year!"

On the inside line of Turn 4, Peko's car went straight in from the inside line. When Wei Ran noticed Peko's action, he shouted.

“Peko’s brakes were very hard and it was hard for Martin to defend!”

The red GP24 car squeezed into the inner line, and Martin was startled. He reacted quickly, tightened the front brake to make the front brake more powerful, stopped the car as soon as possible, and entered the corner earlier to cross the line.

The rear wheels of both of them began to shake violently. If nothing unexpected happened at this position, there was an 80% chance that Peco would pass because he was following very closely.

As expected, Peco's car did a good job of retrieving Martin after coming out of the corner, with some slight outward throws, but these outward throws did not allow Martin to get in, and Peco successfully overtook Martin and came in second.

The two cars were so close in the heavy braking area, which was an easy curve to overtake. Martin's defense was naturally not too strong, and everyone expected this result.

The two exchanged positions and Peko came in second.

“Peco moved up to second place with only ten turns left in the race. Martin will definitely fight back in these last ten turns.”

The car rushed out of Turn 4 and then turned into Turn 5. After exchanging positions, Martin followed closely behind Peco.

In theory, a sprint race can be completed perfectly by using the center line defense method. There is no need to worry about the tire running out of remaining tires, and the center line can be maintained for a long time.

However, due to the short duration of the sprint race, the drivers have reached an invisible consensus, so most people will not take the center line, because this will make the group of cars become particularly dense.

A dense group of cars is not a good thing. In a sprint race, even if you are driving in the center line, if there are too many drivers gathered behind you, there is a high probability that some of them will fight you hard.

In theory, the center line in MotoGP is invincible, but one of the reasons is that the drivers will not fight you with all their might. Various reasons such as maintaining points and waiting for opportunities will make them gradually calm down.

During the race, when drivers are planning to fight you hard in the last few laps, the tires will restrict them and make them gradually give up this idea.

For various reasons, the center line has reached an almost invincible defensive state in the main competition.

In a sprint race, if you have enough tires, so do others. If the tires are sufficient, the drivers will dare to compete. If the group of cars is too dense and you are driving on the center line, when the car behind you tries to overtake you, it is easy for the driver behind you to take advantage of the opportunity and overtake you. This possibility is not impossible. On the contrary, it is very likely if the tires are sufficient.

This is the disadvantage of the center line in the sprint race.

“Exit Turn 5 and enter Turn 6 immediately! This is the third-to-last overtaking corner on the entire track. Martin doesn’t have many chances left!”

In Turn 6, Peco took the center line, but Martin still did not let him go and drove directly on the inside line. The two cars once again entered the turn almost side by side.

One red and one purple, two GP24s braked, and in the corner of Turn , the two competed in braking, Peco was on the inside and Martin was even closer to the inside.

This overtaking was 100% out of the question, but Martin did it anyway. This is the difference between a sprint race and a race. All drivers are more confident in their choice of overtaking, have more opportunities to try, and have enough tires for drivers to make more offensive attempts.

Martin entered the corner and his car blocked Peco. Peco's movements were delayed and his rhythm of entering the corner was a little slow.

Martin will definitely throw the ball out at this distance, but it will be enough to slow down Peko's rhythm. If there is someone behind him at this time, it may not be a problem for both of them to overtake him as long as they seize the opportunity well.

Because at this moment, the space on the inside was a bit empty, and before Martin's car was thrown out, Peko's car was always stuck outside.

This is the opportunity.

If Qin Chuan were here, both Martin and Peko would probably be finished.

This is the biggest disadvantage of taking the center line in a sprint race. You can do it occasionally, but you must be careful.

Martin's car entered the turn and then rushed out. Peko waited until Martin passed before starting to enter the turn, a standard cross-line.

Coming out of Turn 6, the two cars sped out and headed towards Turn 7, turning over and changing direction. Peco still wanted to defend in the middle line, while Martin continued to attack.

“Martin still chose to attack at Turn 7. Peco still wanted to go in the middle, but Martin didn’t give up overtaking. Martin’s overtaking was very aggressive!”

This attack scared Peco, and Martin almost crashed in directly, overtaking with a crazy move.

The two cars of the overtaking driver collided slightly, but Martin eventually overtook the opponent and crossed the line again.

Just as the two changed positions, Xiao Zhang's next words made the Martin fans and Peko fans present nervous.

"The beast is getting closer and closer. If Martin and Peko continue to fight, the beast will most likely catch up to them!"

As Martin and Peko fought, the beast behind them got closer and closer, and the gap had been narrowed from 0.3 to within 0.2.

On average, the Beast will get closer with each position change. After Turn 7, the two have another chance to overtake at Turn 10. According to this situation, the chance of the Beast intervening at Turn 10 is small, but not zero.

At the head of the group of cars, Qin Chuan had already arrived at Turn 8. After a flip, Turn 10 appeared right in front of the car.

The last overtaking corner is also the last steep corner.

Qin Chuan controlled the car flexibly and passed through. One second after Qin Chuan passed, Peko and Martin also arrived at Turn 10.

It is almost certain that Turn 10 will be the last point of contention between the two.

"The race comes to Turn 10. Peco wants to go inside here. Can he stop Martin? This is Martin's last chance!"

Wei Ran's voice trembled. There were still six turns before the sprint race ended, and this was the last overtaking corner.

"Peko goes inside, Martin is forcing it here! He rushes in!"
