SEPANG, Oct 29 — Aprilia Racing’s Jorge Martin could add another dimension to the 2026 Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix (MotoGP) as championship leader Marc Marquez and third-placed Marco Bezzecchi welcome the Spaniard’s return to action at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC).

Martin, who fractured his right wrist in a crash during a Sprint battle with title rival Marquez at Phillip Island last Saturday, has been declared fit to participate in Friday’s practice session.

Marquez said he was pleased to see Martin back on the track, adding that riders would naturally try to compete whenever possible.

“Yeah, first of all, happy to see Martin on track because, as we know, a rider will try. But especially with the medical protocol that we have introduced in recent years, if they are fit, it means that it is safe.
