The smile was back on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin’s face as he stood inside an Aprilia garage.

Earlier this week, the MotoGP champion was present at their promotional Aprili𝔍a All-Stars♏ event.

For the manufacturer it came after Marco Bezzecch♌i’s brilliant Silverstone win, but also amid the drama of Martin’s desired exit.

Martin, still injured, jumped on an Aprilia to do some laps of Misano in unofficial ♉leathers. The manufacturer 😼explained it was because he wasn’t due to be on a bike.

“I am happy to be here,” Martin said.

“I came here wit🅷h no intention to ride but when I saw th🥃e bikes…

“It was a nice day. I thought to try!

“We went to a shop to get leathers and a helmet.

“I went out, I enjoyed it a lot. It was a 𒅌nice evenﷺt.”

Jorge Martin 'recovery is going well'

His ability to j🌌u𒐪mp on a bike - albeit a vastly different proposition to racing a MotoGP machine - hinted at a recovery from injury.

Martin damaged ribs and a lung by crashing at the Qatar MotoGP, his sole Sunday race since joining Aprilia after winning the championship with Ducati. He was previouslꦦy sidelined with separate injuries.

Aprilia confirmed Martin would be reexamined by ꦆmedics in a mont✨h, after undergoing tests this week in Barcelona, before 🐠a return date can be pencilled in.

“The recovery is going well,” Martin said.

“For sur🍷e, it is slow because it was a really big i✃njury.

“💞I want, in the middle of June, ☂to train with a motorbike.”

Martin is trying to get back to racing action while clarifying his plan to leave Aprilꦗia at the end o💟f 2025.

He made clear the existence of a contractual clause which would allow him to💛 walk away a year early.

“I already said what I think,” Martin said.

“Let’s see, through these weeks, how it evolves.”

Martin had previously mentioned a ‘💯second chance’ for Aprilia - to give them time, after his return from in♓jury, to prove their competitiveness.

But Apr🐽ilia CEO Massimo Rivola described Bezzecchꦕi’s win at Silverstone as all the proof that Martin needs.
