Jorge Martín To Sit Out Sepang Riding During Recovery From Recent Surgeries

His next realistic chance to ride comes at the official Thailand practice if he is cleared.

Overview

  • Martín recently underwent operations on his left scaphoid and previously fractured right clavicle, and his recovery remains in progress.
  • He will travel to the Feb. 3–5 Sepang test to support Aprilia but is not expected to get on the bike there.
  • Motorsport first reported the new surgeries, which were subsequently confirmed by Spanish outlets including El Periódico and Las Provincias.
  • Two official practice days in Thailand the week before the March season opener offer a potential late pre-season run if he reaches full fitness.
  • Missing Sepang mileage could curb his early input on 2026 prototypes and component choices as engine development is frozen this season.
