“He will stay in the hospital overnight and tomorrow he will return to Europe to undergo surgery on the right and left foot.”

Martin is expected to start defending the title in the Grand Prix of Thailand opening the season on March 2.

The 27 -year -old man, who moved to Aprilia after winning the 2024 championship for Pramac Ducati, had previously reported pain in the left foot and right hand after being thrown from his bike during his second session crash.

Martin had carried out 13 laps when he lost control of his new bike and was returned in the air.

The Spaniard landed strongly on his left foot before his head strikes the asphalt, bringing out the red flag to stop the opening day of the opening. He was then taken to a neighboring hospital for checks.

The pilot of the Trackhouse team, Raul Fernandez, of Spain was also excluded from the remaining two days with fractures of the hand and feet.

The Frenchman Fabio Quartararo, meanwhile, exceeded the time leaves on the day of opening the tests with a time of 1 min 57.555 sec.

“I felt pretty good. We were focused on a lot of things to try to have a good time on the turn and I think I did a good job,” he said.

The 25 -year -old Yamaha rider was the fastest for most parts of the Wednesday session and won the best time in his 50th round.

The world champion of Spanish MotoGP six times Marc Marquez arrived second faster with a time of 1min 57.606sec on his new Ducati machine, while his brother Alex Marquez finished third after having finished 1 min 57.738sec.
