Aprilia has officially confirmed that reigning MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin will ‘sit out’ the upcoming Buriram test.

That means the Spaniard, injured at Sepang last week, will go into the opening round of the season, also at Buriram, having compl🌃eted just 13 laps of 2025 pre-season testing.

Martin suffered two highsides in the opening♒ hours of the Malaysian test, with Aprilia and Michelin publicly disagreeing over the cause of the accidents.

Both occurred through Turns 🌠1 and ♔2, the second sending Martin into a huge somersault before suffering fractures to his right hand and left foot.

“A bad crash for apparently no reason, with no mistakꦏe on bike side and no mistake on his side," said Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola.

That suggested a tyre issue.

"It was with the same set of tyres," Rivola told the Sepang media. "The first one was on the right. And the second one was on the left... So, I’ll leave it to you☂ to get more info.”

Rivola said th꧅e temperature of the tyre had also been normཧal. 

However, Michelin𝓰's Piero Taramasso countered that while the surface temperature might have been okay, the more important inner tyre temperature of the medium compound rear -🎃 measured by special sensors - was not.

"When [Martin] went out from the box, already the tyre temperature was 15 degrees lower than normal compared to the first outing he did. So the tyre was cooler. 🐻Also when he crashed, compared to Marco [Bezzecchi, team-mate] at the same time with the same tyre it was 15 degrees lower. 

"This temperature I'm talꩲking about is the inner layer temperature. ♌The one from the infrared sensor on the inside. Because when Massimo spoke, he said the pressure was okay, temperature was okay.

"But this is surface temperature. Because the surface temperature you can read very quickly, but the inner layer temperature is the more important ⛦one. Because on the surface, if you have a lot of spin, you 🎃might get 160 degrees but inside the tyre there's only 100."

"The carcass temperature is the i♊mportant one for the tyre. It tells you if the tyre is working or not," he added.

In Taramasso's view, that lower inner tyre temperature combined with "bad track conditions - very slippery, windy, 'cold', only 30 degrees when here n𝓰ormally it's 50 degrees, rain overnight" was " why the crash happened.”

But Rivola promptly rejected that co🍃nclusion:  “Regarding the crash, I would like to make it clear that our data in no way confirms the statements made ꦚby Piero Taramasso.

“I believe that the riders' safety should be the priority, and I have already suggested him to set a meeting with all the teams in order to deal constructiv🌊ely w꧒ith what is clearly a critical situation, as evidenced by the number of injuries.”

"Jorge will sit out the Thai test"

Meanwhile, Martin returned to Europe and underwent surgery to repair the hand🍬 damage on Friday morning. The fracture to the left foot won’t require an operation.

Upon announcing that Martin had been "discharged from the Clinica Dexeus in Barcelona and will now go back to his home in Andorra" Aprilia added that "Jorge will si𒁃t out the Thai test to prepare for the Thai GP as best possi⛦ble".

Tไest rider Lorenzo Savadori will again take over some of Martin's testing duties.

Fabio di Giannantonio (broken left collarbone) and Raul Fernandez (fractured metacarpal bone in his left hand) were ꦓalso injured on day one of the Official Sepang test and underwent surgery.

Diggia is set to miss the Buriram outing from February 12-13: "We know th🃏at his surgery tak🍒es 15 or 20 days to recover, but it’s a pity to miss winter tests," said VR46 team manager Pablo Nieto.

However, Trac🙈khouse team principal Davide Brivio hinted there is a chance Fernandez could be on track next week: "Now we wa💞it to get [Raul] back as soon as possible, maybe even before the race.”

The Thai race weekend then st♏arts with Friday practice on February 28.

Martin will go in💫to that event with 90-laps on the RS-GP, but 77 of those came in last November’s Bar🔯celona post-season test on an early prototype of the 2025 bike.

Team-mate Marco Bezzecchi was the top Aprilia at꧂ the Sepang test, in eighth place.

𒆙Martin's injury also means Sunday's MotoGP Season Launch event in Bangkok will go ahead without the sport's reigning champion being p🐈resent.
