(Reuters) - MotoGP world championship leader Jorge Martin is embracing the pressure ahead of this weekend's Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix as the Spaniard aims to extend his lead over twice MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia.
The 26-year-old Prima Pramac Racing rider heads to the Phillip Island Circuit with a 10-point lead over Bagnaia, having finished second behind the Italian at the Grand Prix of Japan last weekend.
