Jorge Martin has hinted at his return to MotoGP for the first tim🍰e.

The reigning champion has endured a miserable 2025🐽 since winning his maiden title in November.

Martin left Ducati for Aprilia but had a big highs🦂ide on the first morning of p🐠re-season testing.

Another crash in training, days before the first 🍷race, caused a break to a bone in his hand which required surgery meaning Martin has missed the opening two rounds.

Aprilia had already confirmed he will miss♔ the third round, at the Circuit of the Americas, on March 28-30.

But 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin has his eye on a comeback.

He descri⛄bed his recovery to Gazzetta: “Good💛, slower than I would like.

“But these are the tim🐷es, and it would be wrong to speed them up, i⛎t would risk making everything even longer.

“I will definitely skip Austin. I am considering being in Qatar bౠut only if it will ♏not involve risks.”

Jorge Martin identifies date for MotoGP return

Qatar is the fo🌄urth rou♌nd of the 2025 MotoGP season, on April 11-13.

Should he deem Qatar too risky, the n✃ext opportunity is the fifth round at Jerez on&nb🍰sp;

Martin has been aﷺdvised to rest the delicate break to the scaphoid bone in his hand, which can sometimes threaten the career of a motorcycle racer.

He m𒀰issed out on the entirety of pre-season testing after highsiding after 𒐪just a handful of laps.

It means Martin has barely started his adaption from Ducat꧃i to Aprilia.

Therefore his first ro♉unds back in action are likely to be an exercise in learning about his new machinery, and recovering his phys♛ical state.

In theಌ meantime, Martin has been forced to watch Marc Marquez - the man who was promoted to the factory Ducati team instead🐼 of him - dominate the start of the season.

Marquez sits top of t🐼he standings with 37 points, after winning the first four races over two rounds.

Marquez is tipped to exﷺcel at COTA next too, so his lead could be even bigger by the time Martin returns.

Martin 𝕴said about watching the first two rounds on TV while injured: “I struggled, a couple of times I had to turn it off.

“Not out of anger, out ofꦚ sadness. The sadness of not being there.

“And t🅠hen I always turned it back onไ because I know, life is like that.”
