Jorge Martin the latest MotoGP rider to undergo surgery
The Pramac Racing rider took😼 to social media to reveal photos from hospital, where the lower half of his right leg i෴s heavily bandaged.
"Review at the operating room to s💃olve a problem that took me chasing some time on the motorcycle," he posted.&♚nbsp;
"Everything turned out just fine! Now it's time to recover to reℱach 100% to Silverstone."
His exact injury has not been specified - but it is👍 known that Martin hurt his foot and ankle at the opening grand pri👍x in Portimao.
He was involved in the incident where Marc Marquez ܫclattered into Miguel Oliveira. Although he raced on, he later crashed before revealing the knocks.
Two years ago, Martin also required surgery for a🍬 leg fracture sustained at Portimao.
Alex Rins has also emerged from surgery in the past week ♔after bre🦩aking his leg.
Martin's next challenge will be a full recovery before Augusꦆt 6, when the championship resumes with the British MotoGP.
He is currently second in the MotoGP standings, behind only the re൲igning champion Francesco Bagnaia.
His future is still to be clarified over the MotoGP summer break, although it🅠 now seems likely he will🅰 remain at Pramac.
Martin had previously be🎀en linked strongly to the 2024 Yamaha seat but, with the Japanese manufacturer not performing as well as Ducati, he has cooled those links.
