Aprilia hint at imminent Jorge Martin test return – but won’t “push” him to race
Aprilia is considering a return test for MotoGP champion Jorge Martin, but emphasizes that they will not rush his return to racing if he is not fully prepared. Despite only racing once for Aprilia this year due to various injuries, Martin joined the team and debuted at the Qatar Grand Prix, only to suffer more fractures in a crash during the race. His return is not expected until at least the German Grand Prix next month. Martin is now training intensively and will undergo a medical check-up this week to assess his recovery and readiness to ride a MotoGP bike again, with a test planned before his racing comeback. Aprilia team boss Paolo Bonora stated that they will not rush Martin back onto the bike, focusing on his health and potential before deciding on his return to racing. Reducing the physical demands, the Czech Grand Prix might be a more suitable target for Martin’s comeback after his test runs.
