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.Martin second-place finish moved him up to 392 points while Bagnaia is second on 382, with four races left."There is pressure but I am okay with it.
Pressure is a privilege. Not everyone has it. We are in front, battling for big things," Martin told reporters."When you are behind, it's easier because you just have to push.
When you are in front, it's more difficult because you have to think more."My strategy this year - even if I am in front, think like I am behind.
Push, push, push. Give 100 per cent and don't think about the rest, or what I cannot control."Martin is chasing a first MotoGP world title after falling short by 39 points last season.
