Successful surgery for Jorge Martin, but return to track remains an unknown

Successful surgery for Jorge Martin

It's started in the worst way the adventure of Jorge Martin in Aprilia. After missing most of the pre-season tests due to a violent fall during the first day of testing in Sepang, the Spanish centaur will not be able to take part in the first Gp of the season in Thailand due to an injury suffered in training in recent days.

The reigning world champion, as reported by Aprilia, has reportedly already undergone surgery to heal from the complex fracture of the radius and some bones in his hand and has already begun the rehabilitation process.

"Jorge Martin will è have surgery at the Dexeus Clinic in Barcelona by Prof Mir and his team. The surgery went smoothly with the implantation of two screws at the level of the radius fracture and one at the level of the left scaphoid to stabilize and to promote healing. The surgery was well tolerated, thanks to a percutaneous approach with arthroscopic assistance. Will beà evaluated only in the coming days the prognosis in relation to the'evolution of the clinical picture" this is the medical report issued by the Noale stable.

The return of Jorge Martin, therefore, would still be an incognità. The Spanish centaur, in fact, would be in strong doubt even for the Gp of Argentina, the second round of the season scheduled for the weekend of March 16. Waiting for the return of the number 1 on the track, it will be Lorenzo Savadori to join Marco Bezzecchi in the official team.
