Martin ruled out of MotoGP test with multiple injuries

Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin will miss the rest of the pre-season test at Sepang - what should've been his first multi-day test with Aprilia - as a consequence of his injuries sustained on Wednesday.

Martin suffered a closed fracture of his right hand (fifth metacarpal bone) and several closed fractures on his left foot (third, fourth and fifth metatarsal bones) in a Wednesday morning highside - his second of two highsides in quick succession.

He also hit the ground with his head with considerable force in the impact, but Aprilia says a CT scan and an MRI revealed no further injuries.

But the fractures are unsurprisingly substantial enough to cut his Sepang test short and to require surgery, which Martin will undergo in Europe after spending the night in the Malaysian hospital.
