How Martin is after the fall in the tests
These are complex days for MotoGP after the accidents involving Alex Marquez and Johann Zarco in the Barcelona race. The morning session of the Montmeló tests did not help, because Jorge Martin fell violently in turn 7 around 11:30, causing the red flag to be shown and the consequent suspension of the tests. Fortunately, the Spaniard is fine, and Aprilia confirmed the absence of fractures with a second official statement following the examinations at the Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona.

After a day like yesterday, it is natural to have more apprehension than usual. Despite this, Martin’s condition caused real concern, because the 2024 world champion was stabilized with a cervical collar before being transferred to the circuit medical center.
After receiving first aid, Martin was then transported to the hospital for examinations focused especially on the left elbow and right leg. For the Spanish rider, this is the sixth fall of a very unlucky weekend, culminating with the unpleasant episode with Paolo Bonora.
