MotoGP Champion Suffers Serious Accident in Malaysia and Is Rushed to the Hospital (X @MotoGP)
Spanish rider Jorge Martín, the current MotoGP world champion, suffered a serious accident during a practice session at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia while preparing for the upcoming season.
At 27 years old, he lost control of his Aprilia motorcycle and was thrown to the ground, hitting his head with such force that the visor of his helmet came off.
After the fall, Martín reported pain in his foot and one hand and was taken to the hospital for examination. This was not his only fall of the day, as earlier he had suffered another incident, but without apparent injuries.
The 2024 MotoGP champion with the Pramac team, where he rode a Ducati, switched teams after not receiving an official bike from the Italian manufacturer. Now with Aprilia, he continues his preparation for the 2025 season, with the first Grand Prix scheduled for March 2 in Thailand.
