Injured since September, Spanish rider Jorge Martín will attempt to return to MotoGP for the final race of the season, the Valencia GP, which takes place this upcoming weekend. However, the Spaniard will have to undergo a medical evaluation by the world championship medical team.
“Jorge Martín will travel to Valencia for the Grand Prix of the Valencian Community,” the team said to the press.
“The Spanish rider, who has been absent since the Japanese GP due to a fracture with displacement of the right clavicle suffered during the sprint race, will still need to be evaluated by the FIM World Motorcycle Championship medical team to receive clearance to compete.”
If Martín is deemed fit to ride, he will have to serve a penalty upon his return due to the collision with his teammate Marco Bezzecchi in Motegi. The FIM stewards postponed their hearing due to the injury.
If he misses the final stage, it is likely that he will still have to serve the punishment next year.
In addition to Martín, Tech3 KTM’s Maverick Viñales will also attempt to return in Valencia after an injury.
