Jorge Martin's collarbone surgery was a 'complex procedure'

Gold & Goose

It has been confirmed that although Jorge Martin's collarbone surgery was a success, it was a 'complex procedure'.

Ahead of the Indonesian Grand Prix, MotoGP Medical Director Dr Angel Charte provided an update after Jorge Martin's surgery for a displaced collarbone fracture.

The reigning MotoGP World Champion suffered a displaced fracture in last weekend's Sprint Race at Motegi. Martin was hospitalised and sent for surgery after losing control of his Aprilia RS-GP at the first corner in the Sprint and colliding with his teammate, Marco Bezzecchi.

Bezzecchi was relatively unharmed from the incident, but Martin was flown back to Spain, where he underwent a successful surgery.

"Jorge Martín’s surgery was successfully completed," Dr Charte said at Mandalika on Thursday.

"It was a complex procedure due to the fracture presenting three fragments, which were successfully fixed with screws in the middle-distal third of the fracture and a support plate to prevent displacement.

"Recovery times are still uncertain; we cannot give an exact date for his return, but rehabilitation will begin as soon as possible."

Martin, of course, now returns to the sidelines to recover from his latest surgery, and his MotoGP title defence came to an end last time out when Marc Marquez was crowned the 2025 MotoGP Champion.

No timeline has been provided for Martin's return to racing, but it is confirmed that he will miss the Indonesian Grand Prix, and he is expected to sit out of the Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix as well.

The earliest the Aprilia factory rider could return to racing is the Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimao in November, which is the penultimate round of the season.

However, Martin is not the only Aprilia rider on the sidelines, as he has been joined by Trackhouse Racing rider, Ai Ogura. The MotoGP rookie has withdrawn from the Indonesian Grand Prix due to pain in his right wrist.
