Aprilia MotoGP rider Jorge Martin was hospitalized following a crash during Monday's post-Catalan Grand Prix test in Barcelona. Martin went down at Turn 7, a fast, tricky corner, and was immediately attended to, leading to a red flag. He was taken to Dexeus University Hospital for checks on his elbow and leg, though initial reports confirmed no fractures were discovered.
This incident marked Martin's fifth crash across the three-day race weekend and subsequent test. The Spaniard is currently 15 points adrift of teammate Marco Bezzecchi in the championship fight. This event has been particularly bruising for the grid, as Martin is the third rider hospitalized, following serious incidents involving Alex Marquez and Johann Zarco in Sunday's race. Race winner Fabio Di Giannantonio also skipped the test to recover from debris impact. Martin's clean bill of health is crucial as the championship battle intensifies.
