Jorge’s Struggles and Strategic Approaches Shape Recent Motocross Discussions
As the motocross season progresses, Jorge’s unexpected challenges in performance have raised questions among industry insiders. A notable figure commented, "I expected him to do much better. He’s a smooth rider, and as a world champion, he knows how to ride.” However, Jorge himself has indicated that he is still fine-tuning his bike’s setup, particularly with its suspension and engine.
In a recent chat, Jorge acknowledged, “I was injured, so I needed time to adapt. It may take a bit longer to find the right setup.” His dedication to improvement remains evident, as he aims to regain competitive form.
Regarding race preparations, Jorge emphasized the importance of studying previous races at tracks like High Point. “I want to take my time during timed practice to ensure I don’t push too hard too soon,” he explained. His focus is clearly on maintaining safety while enhancing his pace for the afternoon motos.
Qualifying has been a point of debate. Jorge pointed out, “If I can secure a 10th to 15th gate pick, that’s sufficient.” His strategic mindset has already paid off, with impressive starts even from less favorable gate positions. In the second moto, despite starting from gate 36, he managed to launch into the top 12.
Jorge’s ambition is evident: “With a small budget and a standard bike, I want to show my speed and potential to teams.” His approach highlights a belief that with the right support, his results could significantly improve, making him a name to watch in the coming races.
