As for the speed record, Martin said it could be broken again for the rest of the Italian GP weekend.
The Aprilia star said: “I’m happy with this, we set the all-time top speed record, which makes me very happy because I’m the fastest rider in history so far.
“When you get off the bike, you can’t see anything, you just see blurs. But I came out of the last corner really well, I controlled the wheelie on the curb there, and on top of that, I was behind two riders, it was amazing.
“It could fall in the race, maybe if a lot of riders slip, but we’ve already done it.”
