A podium sweep is proof of a whole-team effort. I've been trackside for plenty of races, and one bike winning versus three bikes on the box together are completely different animals. Martin's 19th career Sprint win is monstrous, but Sterlacchini staying grounded and crediting "the whole project" is exactly how a pro talks.
