Injured MotoGP rookie Jorge Martin is to miss a fourth grand prix race after elect🔥ing to delay 🍷his return to action until Catalunya, on June 4-6.

Martin took a brilliant pol꧋e positi🅷on and a podium at the second Qatar round, but then suffered multiple injuries during a big free practice fall at the following Portimao event.

Surgery was lrequired on his hand, ankle and kne💟e, with the initial aim of missing Jerez and Le Mans but returning at Mugello this weekend.

However, 'After listening to the opinions and the reflections mad🧸e by the 🧸doctors, Jorge Martin will return in time for the Catalunya Grand Prix,' said a Pramac statement.

'The conditions of the Spanish rider are without a doubt improving, but for him to return in time for Mugello does not seem to be the best choice du🔯e to how tough and demanding that circuit is.'

Tito Rabat replaced Martin in the two previous rounds, scoring a point at Le Mans, but is busy with WorldSB꧒K duties this weekend and Ducati test rider Michele Pirro will instead be alongside Joꦏhann Zarco at Pramac.

Pirro has☂ made frequent wild-card appearances at Mugello alongside his Ducati testing duties, with a best result of seven꧒th place in both 2013 and 2019.
