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 update on his recovery and chances of rid💎ing next time in Qatar.

The new facto🧜ry ♒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 sustai⛄ned more serious injuries - fracturing "ten bones" in his hand, ribs and foot - on a Supermoto bike while preparing for the 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 recovౠery process is going well.

“For me, it’s very ﷽slow, but for th♏e doctors, it's going really fast! So this is good. 

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

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

The Qatar Grand Prix, roun🔯d fou🐬r of the world championship, is scheduled for April 11-13.

Final Decision After Next Medical Check

Martin revealed that he will undergo another medical examination in Barcelona next week, which will determine whether he is fit to attempt a Qatar return🐼.

“The d🙈octors will check again my condition in Barcelona next week, and then we will understand exactly how the bones are and how they are healing,” Martin explained.

“Afterwards, we will take a decision [for Qatar], becau🏅se even if you feel better, if the bone is not fully 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 back 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 ap𝓀🏅proval during a manufacturers’ vote on Thursday.

"No frustration, I totally understand," Martin said. "The important thing is for the future and to put this new ൩rule in place for next season.

"I think it's good for the safety of the riders because I will try in Qatar witho𓄧ut knowing 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 how the Aprilia team works during a grand prix weeken꧑d.

“Spend🌄ing time with the team is the number one [goal], also unders🅘tanding a bit the style of work at Aprilia because I just did 10 laps in Sepang,” Martin said.

“S𒁏o 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.
