Jorge Martin has been released from the hospital after an ongoing battle to get back to the grid. Martin suffered a variety of injuries in a crash earlier this season and his return has been overshadowed by a lengthy recovery. Martin commented on his recovery and journey home.
“Finally out of the hospital. Thank you all for the messages and for supporting me through this tough time in my life. I’m still in a lot of pain, but everything is under control. I’ll stay in Qatar for a few more days as a precaution, and as soon as I can, I’ll head home to rest and be with my people. Hope it’ll be very soon.”
While his discharge signals good progress, Martin’s full recovery is still ongoing. He will remain in Qatar for a short period as a precaution before travelling back to Europe, with Aprilia later confirming that Martin is scheduled to fly to Madrid on the 26th of April before undergoing further checks at the Hospital Ruber Internacional Quirón in Madrid.
Aprilia has confirmed that Lorenzo Savadori will still be available to step in to substitute for Martin at the upcoming French Grand Prix. Jorge Martin currently holds the lap record at Le Mans with a 01:29.919s lap time.
