MotoGP: Finally, some good news for Jorge Martin! "Of the eleven fractures, only three remain."

The news is good for Jorge Martin! The Spaniard is finally seeing some light at the start of the season. Back in Spain, the reigning world champion was able to undergo a more detailed examination by Dr. Charte's team, and his findings are entirely positive. If we are to believe his words, the accident in Qatar may not have been as serious as initial estimates suggested.

Angel Charte, who could be described as the MotoGP riders' doctor, is adamant about the progress of Martin's case: things are much better. "Yesterday we performed a multi-slice CT scan on Jorge Martin at the Ruber Quirón Hospital in Madrid and the news is very encouraging. Martin has lungs in perfect conditionThe pleura, the membrane surrounding the lung, is completely closed. he declared for GP OneThe pneumothorax he was diagnosed with represented one of the biggest challenges of this convalescence.

 

 

That's not all! Afterward, 11 ribs appeared to be fractured, following Fabio Di Giannantonio's impact and the fall on the curb. The latest information on this front is also reassuring. « Of the 11 theoretical fractures he had, three remain : the seventh, eighth and eleventh ribs already show the beginnings of a bone callus (bone tissue that forms at the site of a fracture, causing it to heal). Therefore, in my opinion, the development is very positive. » he added.

Don't panic, as the situation remains delicate. First, Martin will still have to undergo tests, and this doesn't resolve his previous physical problems, which severely handicapped him in Qatar. « We will now wait as long as necessary and continue to monitor the evolution of his fractures from Madrid. » he concluded. It is difficult to estimate a return date for a driver who, this time, must not rush things.
