Jorge Martin almost ruled out taking part in Sepang Test after new surgery

According to the Motorsport.com portal, former MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin has had to undergo two surgeries in recent weeks to repair an injury sustained last season, putting his participation in the Sepang pre-season test (February 3-6) in serious jeopardy.

The first of these interventions was to correct an injury to the navicular bone in my left hand that I sustained last February. The second patient had his right clavicle repaired, which was fractured during the Japanese GP sprint race on September 27th. Martin had already undergone surgery for both injuries, but his recovery did not go as expected. After undergoing another surgery to correct the problem, he is recovering well, but the question now is deadline. Time is running out before the Sepang Test.

Over the last month, Jorge has been alternating his strength recovery sessions at the gym. He has not ridden a bike since the Valencia test last November. And although he is working hard and pushing the deadline, it seems unlikely that he will arrive in time for the pre-season session at Sepang (February 3-6), although there is also a possibility that the former world champion will come to Malaysia following Aprilia’s evolution and the team’s official presentation. The other thing is their competition on the circuit just in case.

If Martin does not arrive on time, Noale’s test and development driver Lorenzo Savadori will replace the Spaniard at Sepang.
