Jorge Martin Excluded from Argentina GP Due to Injury
Jorge Martin will miss the Argentina Grand Prix after sustaining a left hand injury. The MotoGP doctor confirmed a slow recovery following his broken hand. Martin is set to potentially return for the US Grand Prix on March 30, pending fitness assessments.
Jorge Martin, the reigning MotoGP world champion, has been ruled out of the upcoming Argentina Grand Prix. This decision follows a recent training accident in which he broke his left hand. Doctor Angel Charte confirmed that Martin’s recovery has been progressing slowly and that he will also miss the season-opening race in Thailand, scheduled for this weekend.
As a result, Martin will not make his race debut with Aprilia until at least the third race of the season, which takes place at the US Grand Prix in Austin on March 30. “Martin is in high spirits. As always, he is a very vital man,” Dr. Charte stated. Concerns remain regarding the proper healing of Martin’s injury to avoid long-term complications.
Martin suffered a double injury setback while preparing for the new season, having fractured his right hand and left foot during a highside crash during testing in Malaysia earlier this month. He underwent surgery on his right hand but sustained further injuries to his left hand and foot during a training mishap on his supermoto bike.
In summary, Jorge Martin, the current MotoGP champion, will miss the Argentina Grand Prix due to a hand injury sustained during training. The recovery process has been slow, and his participation in future races remains contingent upon passing fitness tests. His absence marks a difficult start to the season as he aims to recover fully before returning to the track.
