Martin long injury recovery “killing me”

Jorge Martin’s recovery process is taking longer than he anticipated, delaying his 2025 race debut.

Aprilia Racing rider Jorge Martin has given fans details behind his ongoing recovery from his injuries sustained ahead of the 2025 MotoGP season.

The reigning champion suffered from a horrific crash during testing in Sepang, injuring his right hand and left foot. After undergoing surgery, he returned to the bike, aiming to make the season-opening race in Thailand. However, a further crash left him needing further surgery to his left wrist, which has since seen him out of the 2025 season so far.

Updates on the Spanish rider’s recovery have been few and far between up until this point, but Martin has now given a glimpse into his intense recovery during a vlog on his YouTube channel. He explained:

“The first two weeks were pretty hard. You have doubts. You say ‘maybe I won’t be the same as before.’ But I’m starting to see the light now I can train again.

“Those weeks without being able to leave the house were killing me. I don’t know when I’ll return, but I’m already in the process. I’m eating well, I can laugh, I can cough – because before the rib hurt.”

The injuries from the back-to-back crashes are taking longer to recover from than he anticipated.

“I never thought that an injury could last so long. Portimao was very hard, but after a month I was already on the bike. But now it’s been six weeks and still the return to MotoGP is far away.

“But there’s no other choice, we are working hard and it is what it is. Every day we are closer to recovering, that’s the current motivation.”

It is yet to be confirmed when Martin will make a return to the 2025 MotoGP season. Lorenzo Savadori has been competing in his spot so far this year. Aprilia Racing is currently working to get approval for Martin to have some testing time before he makes his racing return. However, this has been met with some complaints, including from Ducati which insists they will block this request.
