The MotoGP title battle has intensified after Jorge Martin romped to a double victory at the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix. Having already dealt significant damage to Francesco Bagnaia’s championship lead in India after the factory Ducati rider crashed out of the grand prix, Martin twisted the knife in Japan.
