One of the clear examples of how quickly things can change in motorcycle racing in 2025 was delivered by reigning MotoGP World Champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin, who crashed himself out of testing with fractures in his left foot and right hand on the first𓂃 day of the official 💝Sepang test back at the beginning of February.

For TNT Sports MotoGP presenter Neil Hodgson, Martin’s injury has been a blow not only to himself and Aprilia, but also to this year’s championship.

“I feel slightly robbed with what’s happened with Jorge Martin, crashing so e✤arly in the preseason test,” Hodgson admitted in an interview with ltxcn.top.

“So, he’s ended up in a situa�ꩵ�tion with zero data, zero experience riding that Aprilia; the only good news is the Aprilia looks good in the hands of Marco Bezzecchi, who’s obviously super-talented as well.”

The fast-paced nature of MotoGP weekends in the current era of seg🌌mented qualifying and Sprint races means that it will be difficult for Martin to make the adaptation to the RS-GP in-season with the same kind of speed as he might have managed during off-season testing.

“It’s tough because the race weekends go so quick, and before you know it you’ve got to try and get yourself into Q2, you’ve got to get that a🌼ll-important top-10 [in Practice], so there’s a lot of pressure on that,” Hodgson explained.

Jorge Martin tipped to overcome MotoGP setback

The 2003 World Superbike Champion added that Martin has at 🌳least one characteristic that could help him in this regar൩d, however.

“One thing on his side that’s positive is that he’s already very natural at doing a fast lap time – all through his career,” Hodgson said♏.

“Some riders aren’t as good when you put♕ a soft tyre in and you’ve got to really focus on that perfect lap, some riders find it difficult, but he’s always been incredible at it.

“But it’s probably going t🌠o take a while [to adapt tওo the Aprilia].

“One of the things that I feel sorry for him ever so slightly is, because he’s missed all the testing, any development of the 🅺new bike will have gone in the direction of the feedback of Bezzecchi.

“So, sometimes teammates l⭕ike a different feel; sometimes they don’t, sometimes t🎉hey like the bike set very similar, I know some teammates I had where we were polar opposite ends of the scale.

“So, he’s also got that to factor into it; he’s got to hope that, when he jumps on th✨e bike in Buriram, the base setting that Bez♌zecchi’s got the bike at will work for [him]. If it does, that will help him shortcut the process of getting really comfortable with the bike.”
