Part 2 of my review of the 2023 MotoGP season. The rise of Jorge Martin adds a great deal of lustre to Pecco Bagnaia's second MotoGP title. Martin made him a better rider, and that made for a fantastic championship.

@motomatters I do like the trajectory of his season so far; he's had good pace throughout and seems to be smiley happy Alex again.

also ironic: that it was #JM89 who took him out, the same one who said "it wasn't enough to ask for forgiveness" when Marc apologized to him for their contact. And this is coming from a long time #JM89 fan club member (who won't be renewing!).
