Jorge Martin: a complex repatriation in preparation
The next phase of his convalescence also promises to be complex and prolonged. Jorge Martin will have to undergo a intensive pain management, respiratory physiotherapy, And a cardiovascular monitoring permanent to avoid any complications.
The current priority remains the complete stabilization of his respiratory condition, without which medical transport cannot be considered.
If the paddock MotoGP is holding his breath, it's also because the Spaniard represents one of the pillars of the current grid. His absence weighs heavily, both on a sporting and symbolic level. But for now, the time is right for caution, not haste.
The question is no longer when Martin will return to the track, but how and in what physical condition he will be able to regain his place among the elite.
