Recommended after two falls before the launch of the 2025 MotoGP season, Jorge Martin, reigning world champion, is about to return this weekend to Qatar. Spanish is not 100%not.
“Martinator” is back! It was through a press release signed by his team this Tuesday morning that we learned the news. Jorge Martin is back! The reigning world champion of MotoGP is able to be able to get back on his motorcycle in official competition and to believe the person concerned, the time has come!
“” I have a huge desire to come back to the track and I am happy to be able to at least try to run in Qatar, launched the pilot in the press release. I do not know where I am physically – I am clearly not 100 %. We will try to do our best and progress little by little ”.
But that fans of n ° 88 do not get carried away too much either, Jorge Martin himself admitted that he was “not even sure of being able to finish the race”. As a reminder, the Lusail layout is 5.4 km with 22 laps on the program.
Waiting for the green light of MotoGP doctors
Nevertheless, seeing the defending world champion on the starting grid remains hypothetical because it takes the agreement of the MotoGP medical manager. “His participation (…) remains conditioned on the approval of the MotoGP world championship medical delegation,” said Aprilia. In any case, seeing him come back to the circuits is an excellent thing for the discipline. But it is also and above all a relief for Spanish.
The latter has lived from the last complicated weeks marked by two falls, a first during the pre-season tests in Sepang in Malaysia which had cost him an operation, and a second, this time during the tests in Thailand during the first Grand Prix of the season. This second accident had sent him to the billiards for an operation with the hand. After having missed three races (Thailand, Argentina, United States), “Martinator” returns to an arena for the moment dominated by Alex Marquez in front of Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia.
