Shocking crash sees defending MotoGP world champion suffer multiple fractures
Jorge Martin’s MotoGP title defence got off to the worst possible start with a painful crash in pre-season testing in Malaysia. The Spaniard, who shocked the motorsport world with an unprecedented title in 2024, was on his new Aprilia when he suffered two incidents on the first day of testing at the Sepang International Circuit. Martin’s Aprilia suddenly caught and sent him the other way@MotoGP The Spaniard went flying through the air@MotoGP Thankfully his head was OK despite smashing his helmet on the ground@MotoGP The second crash was an awful highside, with Martin’s bike throwing him up and through the air with a damaging landing on the tarmac. The 27-year-old was taken to the circuit’s medical centre but then sent to the Aurelius Hospital nearby. There he was diagnosed with a right hand fracture and multiple fractures in his left foot and will spend the night in hospital before flying back to Europe for surgery. Martin’s face even hit the ground and his visor came off, but thankfully suffered no head trauma as he was cleared by an MRI and CT scan. Posting on social media, he wrote: “Not the best start of the 2025 season! But martinator always come back stronger!” Testing runs until February 7 before the season kicks off on February 28 in Thailand, and it’s unlikely that Martin will get back on his bike until then. The Madrid-born star only managed 14 laps on his new Aprilia RS-GP, meaning the chances of him getting up to speed for the start of his title defence are looking very slim. In 2024 Martin made MotoGP history when he incredibly became the first rider to win the world championship on a non-factory machine with Pramac Ducati. He beat two-time champion Pecco Bagnaia who had the full might of Ducati’s factory team behind him, with the title decided in a thrilling Barcelona finale. Naturally, it was assumed that Martin would step up to the main squad alongside Bagnaia in 2025.
