168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin has offered an update on his i༺n👍jury by displaying his hand after surgery.

The MotoGP champion is on the sidelines after sustaining an injury 🉐just days before the season-🐭opening round in Thailand.

Injuring th🔯e scaphoid bone in his hand was in addition to a huge highside in pre-season testing which left him with a foot injur💖y.

“Work in progress”, Martin wrote♏ after hand🦂 surgery.

“Thanks for the support. Can’t wait to be back.”

But Aprilia have already ruled Martin out of the second 2🤪02💃5 MotoGP round, in Argentina on March 14-16.

“According to Doctor Mir, the surgery was quite good,” A𒁃prilia CEO Massimo Rivola said.

“So we are positive. But at the momꦇent weꦯ don't even have to think about when he will be back.”

Jorge Martin injury may be 'painful for a long time'

Ducati’s Marc Marquez revealed that he sent a text to Martin, urging him not to push his body beyond its l♈imit.

Marquez speaks from experience after his ca♑reer-threatening in🅰jury five years ago.

TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli said about scaphoid bone in✱juries: “It can be a really long one.

“It’s an injury𝄹 that can be long to heal, and painful for a long time.

“Joe Roberts is still holding hi🍷s hand from last year. It’s a long-term injury which is difficult to predict.

“It shows you how fast things can turn bad, these bikes can bite. For Jorge, it hasn’t gone well✤.”

Martin’s MotoGP title defence already looks a lost cau🎀se, a♍fter just a single grand prix which Ducati’s Marquez dominated.

Marquez has 37 points at the top of the standings ✃already.

Martin is guaranteed to miss two rounds at least. It is far from certain that he can return in Texa🧸s on March 29-31.

Wheneve🐼r he does finally come back, he must adapt to the Aprilia without ever having a proper pre-season.
