Hard blow for Jorge Martín in the middle of the fight for the World Cup with Marc Márquez: fall and fracture of the radius

Very hard blow for Jorge Martín. The man from Madrid, until this Saturday the leader of the MotoGP World Championship, has suffered a hard fall in the sprint race of the Australian Grand Prix and has fractured, at least, the radius of his right arm, so he will not be able to race this Sunday. In addition, he has handed over the head of the classification to Marc Márquez, who has won the test.

The Aprilia rider was fighting for victory in the sprint race with Marc Márquez when he crashed at turn eight of the Phillip Island circuit. He had to be removed on a stretcher and taken to the clinic, where he later emerged with his right arm bandaged and in a sling.

The first medical tests detected a fracture of Martín's radius and perhaps another undetermined fracture in the same arm, so he will not be able to race on Sunday in Australia, an unforeseen event that leaves the MotoGP World Championship on a plate for Marc Márquez, who has now reached 365 points, ten ahead of the Madrid native.

Shortly after the first information, Aprilia doctor Franco Perona explained that Jorge Martín has a "fracture of the radius and a fracture of the ulna is suspected. He will have to have a CT scan and it will be decided if surgery is necessary."

Despite the hard blow, 'Martinator' is calm about the diagnosis: "It was less than I expected. I was afraid there was something in the wrist. More tests need to be done."
