During his surprise visit to the MotoGP paddock at COTA, injured world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin gave an upda🍬te on his recovery and chances of riding next time in Qatar.

The new factory Aprilia signing has been sidelined since suffering multiple hand▨ and foot injuries on the opening morning of February’s Sepang test.

After the initial fractures in Malaysia, Martin sustained more serious injuries - fracturing "ten bones" in his ⛄hand, ribs and foot - on a Supermoto bike while preparing for t🐎he 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 MotoGP.com.

“It’s difficult to watch🃏 ♏from outside, but the recovery process is going well.

“For me, it’s very slow, but for the doctors, ꦍit's going really fꦰast! So this is good. 

"I'm optimistic that I will maybe try in Qatar. Let's🌊 see. 

"But for💧 sure, it was a big and nasty crash - much worse⛄ than it seems.”

The Qatar Grand Prix, round foꦑur of the world championship, is scheduled for April 11-13.

Final Decision After Next Medical Check

Martin re🎶vealed that he will undergo another medical examination in Barcelona next week, which will determine whether he is fit to attempt 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 if𓆏 you feel better, if the bone is not fullyꦇ healed, you cannot go on track. So after that check, we will take a decision.”

If Martin does return at Lusail, it will likely be his first time b🐽ack 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 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the ꧃proposal failed to gain unanimous♕ approval during a manufacturers’ vote on Thursday.

"No frustration, I totally understand," Marti🐠n said. "The important thing is for the futu𒁃re and to put this new rule in place for next season.

"I think it's good for th🍰e safety of the riders because I will try in Qatar without knowi♉ng my real condition."

Martin Using COTA Visit to Learn More About Aprilia

The former Pramac Ducati rider is using his ♍time at COTA to study howღ the Aprilia team works during a grand prix weekend.

“Spending time with the team is the number one [goal], also understanding a bit the style of work at Aprཧilia 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 experience 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.
