P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin will miss out on the season opener at the Thai Grand Prix after suffering a fracture during training.
Martin reportedly broke his left hand on Monday and will undergo another operation on Tuesday, according to Motorsport. He has had limited testing time on his new Aprilia due to a highside crash at the Sepang MotoGP test and subsequent injuries. In addition to his left hand and foot fractures, he has now injured his right hand before the season opener. It remains uncertain how long his recovery will take, prompting Aprilia to potentially have test rider Lorenzo Savadori step in for the opener. Martin’s absence means his most recent substantial time on the Aprilia was during the 2024 end-of-season test in Barcelona.
