Jorge Martin Opens Up About His Grueling Recovery from Serious MotoGP Injuries

Jorge Martin of Aprilia Racing has shared a powerful and emotional story about overcoming one of the toughest phases of his career — recovering from multiple serious injuries sustained during MotoGP crashes.

“No one knows what happens in the hospital — when you have 12 broken ribs and can’t sleep, the only thing on your mind is what’s best for your future,” Martin said during a press conference ahead of the Czech MotoGP.

The defending MotoGP champion suffered three major crashes within just three months, including:

• A fall during pre-season testing at the Sepang Circuit

• An incident during practice for the Thailand round

• A crash in the Qatar MotoGP race

Martin’s injuries included damage to his hands, legs, and ribs — all crucial for controlling a racing motorcycle.

The Czech MotoGP marks his second race back after a long recovery period and comes during the 12th round of the 22-race calendar. His return reflects not only physical resilience but also the mental toughness of a world-class rider determined to compete at the highest level again.
