Aprilia, Jorge Martin operated: "I need to recover quickly"
Aprilia centaur Jorge Martin è underwent surgery in Barcelona after a bad accident during MotoGP testing in Sepang: the Spaniard è fractured his right hand and left foot when è was thrown from his bike.
"It's a big blow, I had a lot of pain but now it's better. I hope I can recover quickly. The truth;è è that I don’t know what happened, è it’s a pity becauseé I was with my first stint of tires and we didn’t have a chance to work harder. Però I know Marco Bezzecchi did a great job and I am sure we will find a way to be fast", said Martin.
L'Aprilia in a note announced the outcome of the operation but has not yet set the recovery time: è at risk the first race of the season. "Jorge Martin's right hand operation has been successfully completed. The medical team at the Quirón Dexeus Clinic in Barcelona, led by Dr. Xavier Mir, confirmed the positive outcome of the surgery.
