MotoGP world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin is set to make a surprise appearance at this weekend’s Grand Priﷺx of theꦗ Americas, Aprilia has confirmed.

Although still𝔉 not fit enough to make his RS-GP race debut, Martin is set to spend time with the team in Texas as he prepares for a potential return at the following Qatar round.

Ducati’s current championship leader, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez, welcomed the news, calling it a𝓰 ‘good strategy’.

“It's good for him and for Aprilia,” Marquez⛎ said. “We need the number one on the race track, we need Apri🌳lia there in the top because in the end the championship with more riders, more manufacturers, is a better championship.

“And it’s a good strategy because it's a new team for him. Then it looks like he will be at the Qatar GP but it's necessary for a rider to adapt to the bike and also to the t🍷eam. So it's a way to adapt the team.”

Younger brother 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez agreed.

“It's good to be again on a race track, to see how your team is worki🍸ng because he only did just one test, one day more in Montmelo [with Aprilia] and nothing in Sepang. It will be nice to see him around the paddock.”

Martin’s decision mirrors a similar approach taken by his former team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli, who attended last year’s Qatar pre-season test to familiarise himself with his new Pramac team before returning to🔴🌠 competition.

“I did the same last year in the Qatar Test. I couldn't ri🌱de a bike, but I went to Qatar to catch up with the team, to get engaged,” said Morbidelli, who has s💦witched to VR46 for 2025.

“Maybe toꦡo much time far from races can be counterproductive so it's good t⛄o spend time with your team - and if it's a new team, it's even more important - even though you cannot ride.

“Iꦯt's going to be useful for him to spend time in 🌌the pit box.”

Martin completed just 13 laps of pre-season testing for Aprilia before suffering injuries to his right hand and left foot in a crash ♐at Sepang.

His planned return at the Thai Grand Prix was then derailed by an even more severe injury to his left hand in a training accident, rulin𒁏g him out of at least the first three rounds of the sea💯son.

The Qatar Grand Prix takes place from April 11-13, where Martin hopes to finally make his race debut for Aprilia.
