Aprilia issues positive recovery update for Jorge Martin, but German MotoGP return off
Aprilia provided a positive update on Jorge Martin’s injury recovery after an examination in Barcelona, but his MotoGP return timeline remains uncertain due to continued healing.
Jorge Martin’s 2024 season has been marred by multiple injuries, with recent fractures to wrist and ribs keeping him out of action.
Despite increasing his training regimen, his return may be delayed past the German Grand Prix, with a potential comeback at the Czech Grand Prix.
Ongoing healing of his scaphoid and rib fractures indicates at least two more weeks before he can fully recover, prompting further evaluation next week.
Under new rules, Martin will have a chance to test before his return to racing, likely at Misano, while Lorenzo Savadori will continue as his stand-in rider for Aprilia.
Additionally, Martin is engaged in a contract dispute with Aprilia, considering a potential move to Honda in the future.
