The reigning world champion is now set to make his delayed Aprilia race debut, under the floodlights in Saturdayꦉ’s Sprint and Sunday’s Gran🎃d Prix, provided his healing hand and foot fractures can take the strain.

After winning last year’s title with Pramac Ducatiও, Martin made his🅷 RS-GP debut in a one-day test at Barcelona.

But disaste𝔉r struck when winter testing resumed at Sepang in early February, with Martin highsiding twice at Turn 1 in the space of 13 laps.

Fractures to his ri💖ght hand and left foot forced the Spaniard out of the remainder of pre-season testing.

Aiming for a return at the Thai season-opener, Martꦅin then suffered even worse injuries in a Supermoto training accident, fracturing ⛎"ten bones", most notably in his left wrist and heel.

Aprilia’s star signing has been absent from the race tꦛrack ever since, missing Buriram, Termas and COTA, where he was present as a spectator.

A proposal to allow injured riders to take part in a privat😼e MotoGP test to evaluate their fitness before a return came to nothing and ꦍMartin will complete his first RS-GP laps since Sepang in Friday afternoon’s opening practice.

Aprilia, now ൩under the technical leadership of Fabiano Sterlacchini, has so far taken a best finish of 4th (Sprint) and 5th (GP) by Trackhouse rookie Ai Ogura at Buriram. 

Despite being disqualified from Argentina𒀰, Ogura is also the top RS-GP rider with sixth place in the world championship. Martin’s factory team-mate Marco Bezzecchi starts the Qatar weekend eighth in the standings, with three sixth-place finishes.

While Martin’s title de♋fence is effectively over, his return massively boosts Aprilia’s hopes of salvaging a decent ranking in the teams' and c🌳onstructors’ standings.

Aprilia currently sits f🍃ourth - behind KTM, Honda and runaway leaders Ducati - in the constructors' and are only e♈ighth in the teams' standings.

Aprilia's best MotoGP constructors' ranking is third place and with Honda starting Qatar o🀅nly 3 points ahead of Aprilia, second behind Ducati (unbeaten in GPs for over a year) is a realistic goal.
