Jorge Martin will miss upcoming MotoGP races due to recovery delays

Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin is facing an extended recovery from injuries sustained in a pre-season crash, which have ruled him out of several races, including the upcoming Grand Prix events in Argentina and Austin. Despite his hopes for a quicker return, Martin has admitted his recovery is slower than anticipated, expressing his struggle during a recent video call at a press conference. Team principal Massimo Rivola is reportedly working on options to facilitate Martin's return, but regulations currently limit private testing for the team. Championship leader Marc Marquez has taken advantage of Martin's absence, dominating the early races. Martin aims to return for his home Grand Prix in Spain, with hopes of participating in the official test following that event. The situation continues to unfold as fans and fellow racers express their support for Martin's recovery.
