Martin provides an update: “We have to reassess the situation on a day-to-day basis”

Jorge Martin broke his right radius in his crash during the MotoGP Sprint at Phillip Island. The fracture near his wrist is a bitter blow for the Aprilia rider and a major setback in the title race.

As it is a relatively ‘minor’ fracture, the ‘Martinator’ did not return home to Europe. He is in pain, but there is a glimmer of hope that he will be able to get back on his RS-GP this coming weekend at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

On 27 October, Aprilia Racing released a brief statement from Martin. From this, it can be inferred that the 2024 MotoGP World Champion will at least make the trip to Sepang. Whether he will also take part in the practice sessions and races there remains to be seen.

Jorge Martin: “It’s impossible to make any predictions”

“I’m receiving the treatment I need to recover from the injury and arrive in Sepang in the best possible condition. It’s impossible to make any predictions. We have to reassess the situation on a day-to-day basis,” said Jorge Martin.

World Championship rival Marc Marquez won the sprint race in Australia. This allowed the Ducati rider to reclaim the lead in the World Championship standings. Due to the cancellation of Sunday’s main race because of the weather, the nine-time champion did not score any further points. Martin trails by ten points in the overall standings ahead of the final four race weekends.
