Good news: Jorge Martin is back on track ! The reigning world champion, far awayhas been out of the Grand Prix for three months due to injuries,A few spins of the wheels are offered todayToday on the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit in Montmelor.
Riding a standard Aprilia RSV4, Martin shared his joy on social media with a reassuring message: “ Don't worry. Back on the bike after 3 months. »
Although the latest medical tests have been quite positive, the Spanish driver has not yet fully recovered. A return to Sachsenring (July 11-13) is already excluded.
On the other hand, hope is reborn for the next Grand Prix, scheduled for Brno in the Czech Republic a week later. Everything will depend on the results of the next medical examination, scheduled for the beginning of next week. This step will be decisive in determining whether Martin will be able to carry out private tests on his MotoGP before returning to competition.
Jorge Martin returns to the saddle: a return to MotoGP imminent?
Thanks to a recent change in the regulations, driven by Aprilia, the Madrilenian now has the right to ride for a full day in private tests to regain his feelings on the prototype before officially returning to Grand Prix. These tests are planned on the Misano Adriatico circuit, a regular venue for MotoGP tests.
The appearance of Martin in Barcelona is a very encouraging sign. Although the RSV4 road race is less demanding than a MotoGP, this first contact marks an important step in his rehabilitation.
For now, the paddock is holding its breath. Brno could mark the great return of George Martin, ready to resume the defense of his title… and to fight again against Marc Marquez and his ilk for the MotoGP crown.
The next few weeks promise to be crucial. One thing is certain: Martin hasn't said his last word.
