Jorge Martin to ride Aprilia MotoGP bike for the first time since Qatar.
Injured reigning world champion Jorge Martin will test an RS-GP25 MotoGP bike at Misano on Wednesday, marking his return to two wheels since his April accident at the Qatar Grand Prix.
The private test comes after a recent rule change allowing injured riders such as Martin to have additional track time to prepare for their return.
Martin, facing a contract dispute with Aprilia over a 2026 exit clause, previously rode a Superbike at Barcelona last week, his first track action in three months.
His injuries this year have included rib fractures and lung damage, leading to a delayed start to his 2022 MotoGP campaign.
Despite signs of progress, a recent medical check has ruled Martin out of this weekend’s German Grand Prix at Sachsenring.
If the private test goes well, Martin is targeting a MotoGP return at the Czech Grand Prix in Brno next weekend, the final event before the summer break.
