Pramac: Jorge Martin set to miss two more MotoGP events

Pramac Ducati has revealed that injured rookie star Jorge Martin is not expected to return to MotoGꦗP action until Mugello.
That means Martin, who suffered multiple fractures in a huge Saturday 🐭practice accident in Portimao, will not only miss next weekend's Spanish Grand Prix - where he is confirmed as being replaced by Tito Rabat - but also the following French Grand Prix at Le Mans on May 14-16.
The Italian round is then scheduled🧔 to take place on May 28-30.
Martin underwent surgery on some of his fract🃏ures - to the scaphoid and first metacarpal of the right hand and the right ankle - in Barcelona on W💞ednesday.
Other fractures to his right wrist and fifth metacar💫pal of the left hand were treated without the need for surgery, while the fracture to his left tibial plateau (knee) was 'reduced by arthroscopy'.
The Doha pole position�𓃲� qualifier, race leader and podium finisher will remain under observation in hospital for 72 hours.
It is not yet clear if Rabat will continue with Pramac for Le Mans, or if Ducati test rider Michele Pirro, busy with MotoGไP testing at Mugello at the same time as the Jerez weekend, will step-in.
