During his surprise visit to the MotoGP paddock at COTA, injured world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin gave a🌳n update on his recovery and chan🌜ces of riding next time in Qatar.

The new factory Aprilia signing has been sidelined since suffering multiple hand andꦛ foot inj🌱uries on the opening morning of February’s Sepang test.

After the initial fractures in Malaysia, Martin sustained more serious injuries𝔍 - fracturing "ten bones" in his hand, ribs and foot - on a Supermoto bike while pr🎐eparing for the Thai season opener and has missed the opening three rounds.

Martin: "Recovery feels slow, but doctors say it’s fast"

“Really nice for me to be here [at COTA],” Martin told Mot🐻oGP.com.

“It’s difficult to watch from outside, but the reco🌌very processꦅ is going well.

“For me, it’s very slow, but for the doctors, it's going really fast! So this is good.&💎nbsp;

"I🏅'm optimiꦗstic that I will maybe try in Qatar. Let's see. 

"But for sure, it w༺as a big and nasty crash - much worse than it seems.”

The Qatar Grand Prix, round four of 𒆙the world cha𓄧mpionship, is scheduled for April 11-13.

Final Decision After Next Medical Check

Martin revealed that he will un💙dergo another medical examination in Barcelona next week, which will determine whether he is fit to att🔴empt a Qatar return.

“The doctors will check again my condition in Barcelona next week, and then we will understand exactly how the bon💝es are and how they are healing,” Martin explained.

“Afterwards, we will take a decision [for Qatar], because even if you feel better, if the bone is not fully healed, you cannot go on track. So ♓after that check, we will take a decisi🌳on.”

If Martin does ret🎃urn at Lusail, it will likely 🧜be his first time back on any bike since his Supermoto crash.

Aprilia attempted to introduce a rule change allowing injured riders to complete a MotoGP test before making a comeback, but 16🐼8澳洲5最新开꧙奖结果:the proposal failed to gain unanimous approval during a manufacturers’ vote on Thursday.

"No frustratiꩵon, I totally understand," Martin said. "The important thing is for the future and to put this ne🃏w rule in place for next season.

"I think it's good for the safety of the riders because I will try in Qatar without knowing my real conditꦦion."

Martin Using COTA Visit to Learn More About Aprilia

The former Pramac Ducati rider is using his time at CO🎃TA to study how the Aprilia team work𝔍s during a grand prix weekend.

“Spending time with the team is the number one [goal], also understanding a bit the style of work at Aprilia🦄 because I just did 10 laps in Sepang,” Martin said.

“So at least just listening to the comments, seeing how people work, and♛ trying to use my experie♕nce also to help a little bit the team this weekend.

“And if I'm here, it's because the comeback will be really soon,” he added.
