This is the medical report for Jorge Martin following the examinations carried out on 30/06/2025 at the Dexeus University Hospital, Quirón Group. Report by Dr. Xavier Mir regarding the scaphoid: clinical progress is good, with nearly a full range of motion in the scaphoid. Right now the bone consolidation is not yet 100%, but the healing process is progressing positively, despite the repair not yet being fully complete.
Report by Dr. Angel Charte regarding the rib fractures: there is significant improvement in the fracture sites of most of the left rib injuries. Despite the notable progress, some of the fractures have not yet fully consolidated. The evolution is very positive, and on this basis two more weeks are needed for complete healing. A private examination is scheduled early next week for further evaluation. Participation in the German GP is ruled out – Dr. Angel Charte, Dr. Xavier Mir, and Dr. Banguero (radiologist)
Alex Marquez –
Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) has undergone successful surgery following a crash at the Motul Grand Prix of the Netherlands that left him with a fractured left hand. The #73 rider was involved in a racing incident with Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), which resulted in a subcapital fracture of the second metacarpal.
After an initial check at the circuit’s medical center, where Marquez emerged with his hand heavily bandaged, the injury was confirmed and classified as a racing incident by the FIM MotoGP Stewards. He has since been declared unfit, with his participation in upcoming GPs now in doubt.
BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP confirmed that the surgical procedure, performed in Madrid, was successful. The team shared the update on social media, stating: “The surgical procedure for the subcapital fracture of the second metacarpal of the left hand was successfully completed. Further updates on Alex Marquez’s recovery will follow in the next days.”
Currently sitting second in the MotoGP standings, Marquez will now begin his recovery, with more details expected soon regarding his return to action.
