Jorge Martín signed a spectacular 2024 in which he added a second world title to his showcases. That of San Sebastián de los Reyes had already been crowned in 2018 in the small category of the Motorcycling World Cup, but the past course were major words. He knocked out Pecco Bagnaia, an official Ducati star pilot, with the added merit that Martinator was running in the cousin Pramac, a modest satellite set. That global triumph in the queen class was not reflected in a rise within the structure of Burgus Panigale (they preferred to sign Marc Márquez), so he ended up arriving at Aprilia.
However, in 2025 things are not going well. The first three great prizes of the current season (Thailand, Argentina and Austin) were lost as it was injured double in winter tests. And on top of when he could debut at the end of the handlebar of the RS-GP25 April, he suffered a chilling accident in Qatar during the Sunday race. He had to be admitted to a hospital by suffering multiple injuries. “I thank God because this could have been much worse,” he confessed last Monday. He was referring to that after falling, Fabio Di Giannantonio ran over. The accident was close to entering the field of tragedy.
It impacts to think that it suffers up to 11 fractures in the ribs (eight in the posterior costal arches and three on the sides). And it is also overwhelming to think about that pulmonary ailment that is prostrated in the bed of the Hamad General Hospital, where he was transferred after the very hard fall experienced in the Lusail layout. This Wednesday, the current champion has launched a new (and succinct) message through social networks, which has accompanied a significant image. “I am fighting. Thank you for all the support,” he said ‘1’.

When will it return?
On the one hand, this character of warrior is perceived to discouragement, but on the other you can see in this black and white photo to an athlete in their most complicated hours. Prostrated in the hospital cot with a drainage in its lung and with several probes distributed over its torso. Pneumothorax is the problem that must be solved more quickly. Once Martinator improves that ailment he can return to Spain, where he will begin the rehabilitation of his multiple fractures. He will be forced to be patient. And the logic dictates that several great prizes will be lost. The following are played in Jerez (next week), Le Mans, Silverstone (these two will be played in May), Aragon, Mugello and Assen (these three in June).
When will it return? Not even Dr. Ángel Charte dares to launch a forecast right now. It will take, that’s safe. His injuries are gravity that invite us to think that Jorge will not precipitate when returning to the clues of the contest. As things have gone, he has no choice but to think that this is a transition campaign. The essential thing is to return to adapt to your new motorcycle with a view to being as competitive as possible in 2026.
