Jorge Martin planning MotoGP return at Malaysian GP
MotoGP rider Jorge Martin is planning to return to racing at the Malaysian Grand Prix despite suffering a non-displaced radius fracture in his right arm. He is currently undergoing physiotherapy and magnetotherapy to accelerate his recovery after a crash in Australia.
Why it matters
The injury impacts the current MotoGP world championship standings, as Martin trails leader Marc Marquez by 10 points.
Jorge Martin is planning to return to MotoGP action at next weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix after a crash ruled him out of Sunday's contest in Australia.
The Aprilia rider crashed on lap eight of the Phillip Island sprint while engaged in a fierce battle for the lead with title rival Marc Marquez .
Martin slid across the gravel in the fall and suffered a fracture to the radius in his right arm, immediately ruling him out of Sunday's race.
Marquez's victory allowed the reigning world champion to reclaim the lead in the standings, where he now holds a 10-point advantage over the 2024 world champion.
With Sunday's race still to come, Martin faces an uphill struggle to keep up with the Ducati star, although he will do everything within his power to try.
