Jorge Martin suffered a major blow to his 2025 MotoGP season after being diagnosed with a displaced fracture of his right collarbone during the Sprint race at the Japanese Grand Prix. The incident occurred at Turn 1 when Martin, starting from 17th on the grid, made an aggressive move down the inside under braking. He lost control and slid into the side of his teammate Marco Bezzecchi’s bike, taking both Aprilia riders out of the race in a dramatic crash.
Although both riders were able to walk away from the crash, Martin was visibly in pain, clutching his shoulder as he left the scene. Medical staff quickly attended to him, and subsequent X-rays confirmed the fractured collarbone. He was immediately ruled out of Sunday’s main Grand Prix and was scheduled to be transferred to Dokkyo Medical University Hospital for a CT scan to assess the full extent of the injury.
This injury adds to an already difficult season for Martin, who has had a string of physical setbacks. Earlier in the year, he fractured bones in separate incidents during pre-season training and at the Sepang test. A crash in the Qatar GP further sidelined him, causing him to miss ten of the first eleven rounds of the championship.
For Martin, this latest misfortune continues a season of setbacks that have disrupted any hopes of consistency. Once again, just as he was beginning to find rhythm, injury has struck. His return timeline and any disciplinary decisions will now be closely watched, as the paddock waits to see whether he can make a final push before the season concludes.
