Jorge Martín faces a significant challenge after suffering a radius fracture during Saturday’s race at Phillip Island. He has only four days to rehabilitate before the Grand Prix in Sepang, where he will aim to get back on his bike on Friday.
Aitor Tomás, the physiotherapist accompanying Martín, has designed a meticulous recovery plan to tackle this difficult moment. The rider, who fell while competing against Marc Márquez, has shown great determination despite the complexity of his injury.
After the accident, a CT scan conducted in Melbourne ruled out initial fears of possible additional fractures. Doctors confirmed that the radius fracture is non-displaced, which avoids the need for Martín to undergo surgery in Spain.
The recovery plan
Tomás’s recovery plan will focus on two main steps. The first phase will involve reducing inflammation and restoring mobility, strength, and functionality to the joint. This will be achieved through therapies such as cryotherapy and manual therapy.
Additionally, bone regeneration will be encouraged through magnetotherapy systems. If Martín gets the green light to return to the bike, the protocol will be adjusted to focus on the wrist area, to control inflammation and manage pain.
Prospects for the Grand Prix
Since the Sepang circuit is one of the most demanding, both due to its climatic conditions and the loads placed on the right wrist during riding, the team has adopted a cautious approach. The final decision regarding his participation will depend on the assessment made by the championship’s medical staff at the beginning of the week.
Officials from the Aprilia Racing Team have emphasized that Martín’s health is the priority. They assure that they will not put pressure on him and that they will respect his final decision, especially given the importance of the injury and the track conditions.
In this situation, emotional and physical support will be crucial for Martín, who is fighting to keep his championship title hopes alive. One thing is clear: his determination is as high as the speeds he reaches on the track.
