Jorge Martín injured in his left hand: his return to MotoGP 2025 compromised

The 2025 season of MotoGP shapes up to be a complicated challenge for Jorge Martín, one of the most promising riders on the circuit. After an injury in preseason and a new fall just before the first race, his championship start seems like an authentic nightmare. But as any motorcyclist will tell you, setbacks are part of the game. However, it is not just the fractures that worry Martín, but also the mental impact of such a complicated start to the year.

A nightmare season start

From the first day of preseason testing in Sepang, Martín started the season with a hard blow. A violent fall that required surgery on his right hand. Result: a prolonged absence from the track, but the Spanish rider remains positive. His goal is to recover to attack the 2025 season with everything.

But the story didn’t end there. During a training session just days before the start of the championship in Thailand, another setback struck. This time, it was not the right hand, but the left one that suffered with four additional fractures, adding to the three already sustained weeks before. The mood, of course, was affected.

Jorge Martín’s statement: an iron will

On Instagram, Jorge Martín did not hide his disappointment, but his determination remains intact. “The blows always hurt, but when they repeat, the impact is greater,” he declared. A feeling that many motorcyclists understand: when you fall, it hurts, but when it happens in succession, it’s even worse.

The “Martinator” acknowledges that this season start is not what he had imagined. “For the first time in my life, I’m missing the opening race of the season,” he added. The frustration is enormous, but the mentality remains stronger than ever. The goal is clear: to recover 100% to come back with more strength, with his heart and left hand ready to return to the track.

Lorenzo Savadori, luxury substitute

While Martín recovers, it will be Lorenzo Savadori, test rider for Aprilia, who will take over. Although it is never easy to replace a champion like Martín, Savadori is not a stranger and has shown that he has what it takes to defend the colors of Aprilia.

Although this replacement is temporary, we all hope that Savadori’s presence on the starting grid will allow the team to stand out while “Martinator” is on the mend. This will also give Martín the time to heal at his own pace, without pressure, and return to the track ready for action.

An injury and an unexpected return?

But the big question on every MotoGP fan’s mind is when Martín will return. An injury like this, with multiple fractures, doesn’t heal overnight. But one thing is certain: Martín is not one to give up easily. MotoGP riders are warriors, passionate individuals who never surrender. So, although his return is uncertain, we can be sure of one thing: he will not come back just to participate.

And although the current situation is not ideal, it is important to remember that the year is still young. There are many races, and if his body allows it, he could return in full form, with the fury of those who have faced the worst scenario.

A perspective from the bike

I believe this situation truly shows how relentless MotoGP is. It is not just about talent: it is a sport that can shatter bodies and spirits. And for Jorge Martín, this is clearly a harsh blow. You prepare for months, dream of starting the season at full speed, and reality crushes you under the weight of these injuries. And although his mind is as solid as steel, he will need to take the time to recover, without haste.

Now, we all know that he will come back stronger. He is the kind of person who never surrenders. And besides, he is a true motorcycle enthusiast. MotoGP is not just about speed: it’s also about mind. If anyone can overcome such a season start, it is Jorge Martín.
