Jorge Martín will not be in Argentina and it is a doubt for Austin

The MotoGP Medical Director, the Spanish Ángel Charte, said Thursday that the Spanish pilot and current MotoGP champion Jorge Martín, in addition to missing the opening event of the Thailand Grand Prix that is played this weekend, will not be able to be in the Grand Prix of the Argentine Republic (March 14-16) and that we will have to see if it can return two weeks later in the quote of the Americas.

“At the moment Thailand surely no and Argentina either. It is an issue that must be seen little by little. Recovery is not fast, it is a slow recovery, because if it does not heal well and does not make a good fracture callus, it can lead to medium and long term collateral effects,” Charte said in statements to Dazn collected by Europa Press.

The Spanish pilot was intervened last Tuesday of the fractures in the left hand he suffered after a strong fall while trained last Monday. A new operation that was carried out by Dr. Xavier Mir, who had already operated in early February after the strong fall that he had during the first day of the Sepang test, in Malaysia, and that made him miss most of the preseason tests.

“He is very lively, as always, he is a very vital man, and what may worry us most is that he perfectly consolidates the scarf,” said Charte about Martin’s mood, who said he does not know if this new injury will make him “stronger”, although he knows that he will come out “forward, as always,” he published on his Instagram profile.

“We will do a test, surely before going to Texas, and we will see what there is,” said the MotoGP medical director, leaving in the air the presence of the current champion in the American appointment and confirming that, at least, the first two great prizes of the season will be lost.
