Confirmation of Aprilia
Aprilia Racing has announced that Jorge Martin will travel to Valencia to take part in the season finale, provided he is medically cleared at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo on Thursday.
Return after collarbone fracture
The 2024 MotoGP World Champion has been sidelined since his crash during the Tissot Sprint at the Japanese Grand Prix. In the process, Martin suffered a displaced fracture to his right collarbone.
If declared fit, he will get back on the RS-GP in front of his home crowd. Martin will not only ride in the Grand Prix of Valencia, but will also take part in the Valencia Test on the Tuesday after the race weekend. That will give the #89 a chance to recover before the winter break after a tough injury-plagued debut season at Aprilia.
- Medical examination: Thursday at Circuit Ricardo Tormo
- Race: Grand Prix of Valencia, season finale
- Test: Valencia Test on Tuesday after the weekend
What it means
A return of Martin would give both Aprilia and fans a positive end to the season. Whether he can actually race will of course depend on the results of the scrutineering. For the #89, it is mainly a chance to go into the winter with confidence.
