Jorge Martin “understands” injury testing block: “You don't let a rival do it”
Jorge Martin understands why Aprilia's test initiative was blocked ahead of his MotoGP return, but insists "it’s a really good idea" for💮 the future.

Injured world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin will complete his first MotoGP laps since February 5 when he takes toꦿ the Lusail circuit for Friday’s Qatar Grand Prix practice.
But exactly how well his hand and foot injuries will cope with the strain of riding th🍒e RS-GP is unknown.
“I will take it session by session, day by dꦇay. I don't know if I will even be able to finish the weeke💃nd,” Martin said on Thursday.
To facilitate smoother comebacks for injured riders, Aprilia proposed an immediate𓆏 rule change allowing ꦰthose with extended injury absences - like Martin - to conduct a private test before returning to action.
However, the initiative 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:fail�ꦰ�ed to secure the unanimous support required from rival manufacturers within the MSMA.
“It was completely from the team, i꧋t wasn’t my idea,” Martin said of the testing suggestion. “But I understand why it didn't happe🎃n, because… It’s normal - you don't let a rival do it at this time.”
Nevertheless, while mid-season rule changes are frowned upon, ther♚e appears to be a consensus among manufacturers to amend the regulatio𓆉ns from 2026.
“I think it's a good idea for🅺 the future," said Martin.
“If a rider is out injured for two or three races I think they are🅠 discussing to let the rider try [a MotoGP bike] so he doesn't have to go to a race weekend to try.
“Because now it's my case. I don't know my🅘 physical condition, so I need to try on a ra꧟ce weekend that is a bit more unsafe, let's say.
“So I think for the future it’s a really goo🏅d 🎉idea.”
If the rule change 🌄is appཧroved it would currently only affect injured Ducati, Aprilia, and KTM riders.
Honda and Yamaha🥃 are already exempt from the private testing ban due to their ‘D’ concession status.
