Get ready for an exciting comeback! Jorge Martin is on the brink of his MotoGP return, and we've got all the details!
After a challenging debut season with Aprilia, plagued by a series of injuries, Martin is now set to make his highly anticipated comeback at the final pre-season test in Buriram on February 21-22. But here's where it gets controversial... Martin had to sit out the opening test in Sepang while recovering from a 'secret' surgery on his wrist and collarbone, leaving fans and experts wondering about his future.
However, Aprilia has just announced that Martin's latest medical check was a success! He's all geared up to travel to Thailand and participate in the upcoming test. But there's a catch - he still needs to get the green light from the FIM Grand Prix World Championship Medical Team before he can officially join the test.
If Martin gets the go-ahead, Buriram will mark his first appearance on the track since the Valencia post-race test last year. And get this - the Chang International Circuit will host the opening round of the 2026 MotoGP season just a week later!
While Martin's team-mate, Marco Bezzecchi, impressed at the Sepang test, finishing second on the timesheets, he was outpaced by Ducati riders and KTM's Pedro Acosta during the Sprint simulations. Bezzecchi has already re-signed, but Martin, who managed to start just eight out of last year's 22 rounds due to his injuries, has been linked to a factory Yamaha seat for 2027.
With Peter, a veteran of the paddock for 20 years, having witnessed the rise and fall of legends like Valentino Rossi, the Suzuki exit story, and Marc Marquez's injury struggles, this comeback story is sure to be an exciting one.
So, will Martin make a successful return? And what impact will it have on the upcoming MotoGP season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! Are you excited for Martin's comeback, or do you think it's too soon? We want to hear from you!
