Jorge Martin’s comeback delay seems to be never-ending. First, he suffered a series of injuries that delayed his appearance in the MotoGP 2025 season. Then, as he finally made his return at the Qatar MotoGP, he suffered another crash that left him in the hospital with eight rib fractures. His return remains uncertain for now as he recovers from the injuries he sustained at the Qatar MotoGP.
Aprilia Racing has been active in updating fans on Jorge Martin’s status. In their latest statement, the team confirmed that his clinical condition is improving “slowly but gradually.” The statement read, “Jorge Martín remains in the intensive care unit at Hamad Hospital. His injuries are progressing satisfactorily. The chest drainage for his hemopneumothorax is progressing favorably. His pain is under control, despite the rib fractures he has.”
“For now, he must continue with the pulmonary drainage process until it is 90% resolved. After that, it will take some days before he can be transferred by medical aircraft to our hospital. He is also in a cheerful and strong mood. We must give him time until the clinical process is resolved, so that he can be transferred,” Angel Charte, MotoGP Medical Director, concluded.
The team also confirmed that Lorenzo Savadori will be replacing Jorge Martin for the upcoming race at the Spanish Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Jorge Martin’s Positive Attitude Despite Setbacks
Despite the severity of injuries, Jorge Martin remains upbeat and hopeful. He took to his social media and reassured the fans, stating, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported me. These have been difficult days, but now I’m starting to move a bit more and feel better, although the pain is still intense. I’d like to thank Aprilia, my fans and everyone who is helping me. I will continue to fight to be one of the strongest ever”
He also thanked his fans for supporting him through this tough time. He shared a story on his Instagram account stating, “First Steps,” where he’s seen taking his first steps after being hospitalised.
Jorge Martin’s fighting spirit and the unwavering support from Aprilia and fans suggest that despite these setbacks, he will be back on the grid as soon as his body allows.
