SEPANG, Oct 31 — Jorge Martin’s world championship hopes took a big hit today when he was ruled out of the Malaysian MotoGP sprint and main race with a broken wrist.
The Spaniard arrived in Kuala Lumpur with a fracture from last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix sprint race.
The Aprilia rider came through unscathed in yesterday’s first practice session at Sepang but then only managed a limited number of laps in the afternoon and on today morning.
He did not come out for qualifying and said of the impact on his title hopes: “For for sure I will fight till the end, not only for me, because at the end of the day I’m already a champion, but for my team, for my people, I will fight till the end.”
