MotoGP champion Jorge Martin faces a challenging road ahead as he prepares for surgery following a severe crash during pre-season testing in Sepang, Malaysia.

MotoGP champion Jorge Martin was injured in a vicious accident during preseason testing in Sepang on Wednesday, breaking his hand and foot in an incident that will require him to have surgery and put his status in doubt for the start of the 2025 season. The 27-year-old from Madrid is coming off of his first MotoGP title.

The reigning MotoGP champion lost control of his bike on turn two where a highside launched the 27-year-old into the air before he landed hard on the tarmac.

Jorge Martin has been ruled out of the rest of the Sepang pre-season test after suffering multiple fractures in a massive crash. Martin made a strong start to life as a factory Aprilia rider last November at the Barcelona post-season test, but his 2025 preparations took a dramatic turn on Wednesday at Sepang.

MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin will have surgery after breaking his hand and foot following a crash in pre-season testing.

Jorge Martin will miss the remainder of the Sepang MotoGP test after suffering multiple fractures in a crash on the opening day. The reigning MotoGP champion was making only his second appearance aboard the factory Aprilia RS-GP when he suffered a highside at Turn 2 shortly before midday in Malaysia.

Aprilia sporting director says reigning MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin “is fine” and will have surgery in Spain on Friday following his heavy Sepang test crash. Martin crashed twice early on the opening day of testing in Malaysia on Wednesday, with the second one a violent highside at Turn 2.
