Jorge Martin Absent At MotoGP Argentina 2025

Jorge Martin is certain to miss the first two series of MotoGP 2025 (Instagram/@aprilia).

JAKARTA The defending MotoGP champion, Jorge Martin, has certainly not been able to be on the race track in the second series of the season which will take place at the De Rio Hondo Termas Circuit, Argentina.

This assurance was conveyed by the CEO of Aprilia Racing Massimo Rivola.

"What is certain is that he will not participate in the race in Argentina," Rivola said as quoted by Crash.

This means Martin is noted to have missed the first two MotoGP 2025 series. The Spaniard also certainly cannot race in the first series in Thailand this weekend.

Martin was forced to pull over after an accident that injured his left hand. The problem forced him to undergo surgery as previously occurred in a pre-season test in Malaysia.

At that time the 27-year-old racer had an accident on the first day of the test so he was immediately sent back to Spain for surgery.

The big accident caused Martinator to experience a metakarpal fracture in his right hand and several fractures in his left leg metatarsal.

In the midst of conditions that had not yet fully recovered after surgery, he even suffered another unfortunate broken left hand while undergoing preparations to welcome the new season.

"His left hand condition is not good at this time. According to the doctor, the operation is quite good. So, we are positive. However, at this time I don't think we even need to think about when he will return," said Rivola.

Last year Martin made history as the first independent rider to win a world title in the MotoGP era after competing fiercely with Francesco Bagnaia throughout the season.

After achieving this success with Pramac Ducati, Martin then immediately moved to Aprilia. This made him the first racer since Valentino Rossi moved from the factory to defending champion.
