2024 MotoGP champion Jorge Martin will miss the Portuguese GP
Aprilia has announced that 2024 MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin will miss the upcoming Portuguese Grand Prix as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury sustained during the Japanese Grand Prix. This is his fourth major injury setback of the year. Despite making progress in his recovery and returning to training, a specific timeline for his comeback has not been provided by the team. Therefore, Martin’s absence at the Portimao circuit next weekend has been confirmed as he focuses on recuperation. Test rider Lorenzo Savadori is likely to continue filling in for Martin in Portugal, although Aprilia has yet to officially confirm this. In total, Martin has participated in only six out of the 20 rounds held in 2025, with a fourth-place finish in Hungary being his best result so far.
