SEPANG, 31st October — Jorge Martin, the 2024 MotoGP champion, has been forced to withdraw from the Malaysian MotoGP sprint and main race due to a broken wrist. Martin arrived in Kuala Lumpur with a fracture sustained during the Australian Grand Prix sprint race. Although he appeared uninjured during yesterday’s practice session, he only completed a limited number of laps in the afternoon and morning sessions today.
Martin announced that he would fight until the end, not only for himself but also for his team and loved ones. The premature exit is a significant boost for current leader Marc Marquez, who leads Martin by 10 points in the championship with three race weekends remaining. Aprilia Racing team manager Paolo Bonora confirmed that the team had decided to withdraw Martin from the rest of the weekend due to his inability to apply sufficient force to the bike in braking areas. Martin will now return to Spain to assess his condition ahead of the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix.
