Jorge Martin declared fit to race in Malaysian GP after FP1

April 2026 – Jorge Martin has been declared fit to participate in the remainder of the Malaysian Grand Prix after completing the first practice session on Friday. The Aprilia rider, who suffered a wrist injury in a crash during the Phillip Island sprint, received medical clearance from MotoGP’s official doctor Angel Charte. Despite finishing 20th in FP1, 1.8 seconds behind Ducati teammate Marc Marquez, Martin’s team will still be able to race at Sepang.

However, he faces a significant challenge to overtake the front-runners. Unfortunately, Trackhouse’s Raul Fernandez withdrew from the weekend due to a finger injury sustained during the sprint race in Indonesia.
