In a significant update from the MotoGP circuit, reigning world champion Jorge Martin will miss the upcoming Argentine Grand Prix on March 15-16, 2025. This news, confirmed by Dr. Angel Charte during a DAZN broadcast, highlights a troubling start to the season for Martin, who is facing multiple injuries stemming from accidents during pre-season testing and training sessions.
Jorge Martin has faced considerable challenges due to his aggressive riding style, which has led to numerous injuries throughout his career. This season, he has experienced various injuries, including fractures to his right hand and left foot, necessitating surgical intervention that threatens his participation in the early races of the season.
Dr. Xavier Mir, a recognized specialist in sports injuries, has been overseeing Martin’s recovery. However, the process has been complicated by a fractured scaphoid in his wrist, resulting in a prolonged healing time and delicate rehabilitation efforts to prevent further complications.
Dr. Angel Charte, the MotoGP championship physician, has officially confirmed Martin’s absence from the Thailand and Argentina Grands Prix. Although there is hope for his return at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, this will be contingent upon the progress of his recovery. Charte emphasized the necessity for a careful approach to ensure a thorough recovery and avoid any long-term health risks.
Jorge Martin’s absence from the initial Grands Prix of the 2025 MotoGP season represents a substantial setback for the Aprilia team. His recovery from serious injuries will dictate whether he can return to competition, particularly regarding his defense of the championship title. As Martin prioritizes his health and rehabilitation, teammate Marco Bezzecchi will undoubtedly play a critical role in maintaining the team’s performance in the early races.
