Jorge Martin said his Thai MotoGP fourth place was “crazy” after winter surgery left him unable to feed himself.
Former MotoGP champion Jorge Martin described his fourth-place finish in the Thai Grand Prix as “unbelievable” due to struggling to feed himself just two months prior. After missing the Sepang test following follow-up surgery on wrist and collarbone injuries, Martin’s first proper experience with the Aprilia RS-GP came a week before the Buriram season opener. He progressed from eighth at the Thailand test to finishing fourth in the grand prix, marking his best weekend yet with Aprilia. Martin credited his positive result to arriving at the test with an open mind and adapting well to the bike, acknowledging the team’s significant contributions. Despite battling with Marquez and Acosta during the race, Martin noted room for improvement in qualifying and pace to contend for podium finishes.
