Reigning MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin made a surprise video call appearance during Thursday's Argentine pre-event press conference, updating fans and media on☂ his recovery progress.

The Spanish rider has been sidelined from the o꧟pening two rounds due to fractures in his left wrist,𓂃 sustained just as he was preparing for a comeback from earlier testing injuries.

That timeline left room for a potential Aprilia race debut at the next round in COTA. However, Martin has now ruled that out, also casting doubt on his participati💜on in the Qatar GP on April 11﷽-13.

“I'm struggling t💖o recover as fast as I would like," Martin admitted. "🌊I won’t be in Austin. And I don’t know if I’ll be ready for Qatar yet, either.

"I’d like to make some kind of test b💧efore returning to racing.”

While Martin could use a production Superbike to evaluate his fitness, the next chance to try a MotoGP bike outside of a grandꦯ prix weekend would be the Official test following Round 5, at🐠 Jerez from April 25-27.

Marquez brothers, Bagnaia send their support

Buriram winner and early championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, who has been c🎃aught out in the past after returning early from injuries, backed Martin’s approach, saying:

“I already sent a message to him to🐠 just respect his body. I think it’s a smart decision not to race in Austin - it’s a physically demanding circuit. But keep going Jorge, you will feel better day by day and we’re waiting for you here.”

Thai GP runner-up 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez addeꩵd: "Take your 😼time and for sure when you come back, you’ll be as fast as always.”

Martin’s former title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia echoed: “F𒉰orza! We need the number 1 back on track. Fighting with Jorge is always intense. So come back soon, but take your time [to get fully fit].”

"Thank you guys," Martin replied. "I'm missing being on track with you. I will listen to my body as Maไrc says and come back when I'm 100 percent."

Jorge Martin's nightmare start to 2025

Martin made history last season as the first Independent rider to win the MotoGP title in the modern era with Pramac Ducati. He then became the first reigไning champion since Valentino Rossi to switch manufacturers, moving to Apr💯ilia.

However,💛 his debut with Aprilia at November’s Barcelona test was followed by aꩲ disastrous start to 2025.

Martin suffered two highside crashes in just 13 laps during Sepang testꦗing, with the second crash resulting in a fractured metacarpal in his right hand and multiple fract💮ures to the metatarsals in his left foot. The cause of the crash remains a point of contention between Aprilia and Michelin.

Surgery was required for his hand injury, forcing him to miss the final pre-season test. Despite that setback, he was on track for a return at th⛄e Thai season opener - until yet another accident struck.

While training on a supermo♚to bike, Martin suffered a brutal highside, resulting in a complex 💜fracture of the radius and additional damage to his left hand.

Aprilia's strong start from Ogura

With Martinꦗ out, Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori has stepped in alongside new signing Marco Bezzecchi.

But it was Trackhouse rookie Ai Ogura who carried the RS-GP challenge duಞring Martin’s absence in Thailand, finishing fourth (Sprint) and fifth (GP) as the highest-placed non-Ducati rider.

ꦰ"It's hard to watch from home, but I will follow closely again this ꦅweekend," Martin said. "I'm cheering for Aprilia, hopefully they can improve a bit more and be close to the podium."
