The Spanish rider has updated his fans about his recovery after the pre-season incidents: here’s the VIDEO shared on social media.
After weeks of waiting, Jorge Martin has returned to speak on his social media channels. The disappointment over the pre-season injury is great, and the Aprilia rider shared the difficulties he is facing during this period of his career.
From world champion to multiple surgeries and fractures: the adventure with the new team started in the worst possible way for the Madrid-born rider. After missing Thailand and Argentina, he will also be absent in Austin: the new number one on the grid aims to return to the track in Qatar in mid-April, but there is still no certainty about his recovery timeline.
Jorge Martin’s Words
In a video posted last night, Jorge Martin begins: “Hi everyone! I’m making this video to give you updates on my injury. Honestly, the last few weeks have been really tough, I’ve suffered a lot, and that’s why I haven’t been very active on social media, so I apologize to my fans and those who support me, because I think I’ve been a bit absent.
As you know, I had an initial injury in Malaysia, after which I was recovering quite quickly. I got back to training, I was feeling good. During a supermotard training session before leaving for Thailand, I had a bad fall with a heavy impact. It’s been difficult days, but now I’m starting to see the light.”
He continues, then explaining more clearly about his physical condition and recovery: “The most serious injury I had was to my radius and scaphoid, I also had 4 fractures in my left foot and muscle injuries to my ribcage. It wasn’t a minor issue, absolutely. If there’s one thing I can say, it’s that I will give my 100% to return to my best version and learn from my mistakes, as I’ve always tried to do. I’ll be back as soon as possible.
I’m working hard to recover, and I don’t know exactly when I’ll return. I certainly won’t be in Austin, the goal is to be in Qatar, but nothing is certain. So I don’t know yet. I’m really looking forward to reuniting with the Aprilia team and riding that amazing bike, so that’s all I can tell you. I apologize again for all the time I’ve been absent. I’m starting to feel better and train, my physical condition is improving faster than in the early days of the injury. I hope to see you soon on the track.”
