Jorge Martín, 27, who won the first title in the Motorcycle Speed World Championship in 2024, lost control of Aprilia and was projected on the motorcycle, wrapping with violence on the asphalt.
Spanish pilot Jorge Martín, a MotoGP world champion, today suffered multiple fractures on his right hand and left foot as a result of a drop suffered during pre-season tests at the separating circuit in Malaysia.
Martín, 27, who won in 2024 the first title in the Motorcycle Speed World Championship, lost control of Aprilia and was designed from the motorcycle, crashing with violence on the asphalt, to the point that the visor of the helmet has jumped.
The Spanish pilot was transported to the medical center of the Malay Circuit and, later, to the hospital, where “fractures of the fifth right hand and third, fourth and fifth metatars of the left foot were diagnosed,” the team said.
Stay in the hospital until Thursday
The world champion of the Queen of Motorcycle, who had suffered a fall shortly before, but without physical consequences, will remain hospitalized until Thursday, then returning to Europe to be operated on his right hand and left foot.
Martín will fail the second preseason testing session, which takes place next week in Thailand, and may not be fully recovered in time from the first major prize of the 2025 World Cup on March 2, in that Asian country.
