• Aprilia rider hit the track face first as his helmet shattered
• Spaniard has three weeks to recover before season starts

Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martín fractured his hand and his foot which will both require surgeries after a nasty crash in pre-season testing in Sepang, Malaysia, on Wednesday, casting doubts on his title defence this season.

Martín, who made the switch from Pramac Racing to Aprilia after winning the 2024 MotoGP championship, lost control of his bike on turn two where a highside launched the 27-year-old into the air before he landed hard on the tarmac.
