Jorge Martin “understands” injury testing block: “You don't let a rival do it”
Jorge Martin unders❀tands why Aprilia's test initiative was blocked ahead of his MotoGP return, but insists "it’s a really good idea" for the future.

Injured world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin will complete his first MotoGP laps since February 𝓰5 when he takes to the Lusail circuit for F🌳riday’s Qatar Grand Prix practice.
But exactly how well his hand and foot injuries will cope wit𒊎h the strain of riding the RS-GP is unknown.
“I will take it session by sessi🧸on, day by day. I don't know if I will even be able to finish the wee🍨kend,” Martin said on Thursday.
To facilitate smoother comebacks for injured riders, Aprilia proposed an immediate rule ch🎃ange allowing those w🔯ith extended injury absences - like Martin - to conduct a private test before returning to action.
However, the initiative 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖💖结果历史:failed to secure the unanimous support 𒉰required from rival manufacturers within the MSMA.
“It was completely from the team, it wasn’t my idea,” Martin said of the testing suggestion. “But I understand why it didn't happen, because… It’s normal - you don't let a rival ღdo it at this time.”
Nevertheless, while mid-season rule changes are frowned upon, 💝there appears to be a consensus among manufacturers to amend the regulations from 2026.
“I think it's 🔯a 🎶good idea for the future," said Martin.
“If a rider is out in𒁏jured for two or three races I think they are discussing to let the rider try [a MotoGP bike] so he doesn't have to go t🐻o a race weekend to try.
“B𝕴ecause now it's my case. I don't know my physical condition, so I need to try on a r💛ace weekend that is a bit more unsafe, let's say.
“So I think for the future it’s a really🧔 good idea.”
If the rule change is approved it would 🧔currently only affect injured Ducati, Aprilia, and KTM riders.
Honda and Yamaha are alr𝕴eady exempt from the p🧜rivate testing ban due to their ‘D’ concession status.
