Jorge Martin Undergoes Hand Surgery: No News on MotoGP Return
Aprilia has confirmed that Jorge Martin has undergone surgery on his hand which was injured in pre-season training
Aprilia MotoGP star Jorge Martin is back on the mend, following surgery on the hand which he injured in when pre-season training.
The setbacks for the factory Aprilia rider have been numerous already in 2025, with two big crashes ruling him out of the last pre-season and leaving him little seat time with the RS-GP.
Adding to the woe was the news that broke earlier this week, that Martin had injured his hand in a separate training incident and would be likely sidelined for the season-opening Thai Grand Prix.
Aprilia has today reported that the rider from Madrid has undergone surgery on the newly injured hand, thanks to the famed MotoGP medic, Dr. Xavier Mir. Aprilia goes on to report that Martin had suffered a “complex fracture of the radius” and some “carpal bones” on the left side, as well as an “ipsilateral calcaneal fracture”, all of which occurred during a training session.
What the press release from Aprilia doesn’t confirm is the timeframe for Martin’s recovery, and while it seems certain he’ll miss this weekend’s season-opening Thai Grand Prix, the question mark remains on the following Argentinian round, due to take place March 14 to 16. Aprilia does, though, confirm that his “prognosis will be evaluated" based on his clinical condition in the coming days.
