Martín suffers from “thoracic trauma” and will take exams

New blow for Jorge Martín. Back at the Qatar GP after two months of convalescence after two injuries during the pre-season, the Spaniard wanted above all to see the arrival of the test to test his physical condition, but he dropped shortly after mid-race, when he was 17th.

Fallen on the right flank and then apparently affected by Fabio Di Giannantonio, Martín remained prostrate on the ground, and needed the help of the medical team to get up. He was then led to the circuit medical center.

According to the first observations communicated by Aprilia, he was breathless after a fairly violent shock in the torso, but suffers from any injury in the arms and legs. He will take additional examinations at Hamad General Hospital.

“Jorge Martín has undergone thoracic trauma”announced Aprilia. “The pilot is aware, without problem in terms of its members. [Il souffre] bruises at the ribs on the right side of the chest, with a pneumothorax. He will be taken to the hospital to scan to scan as part of an in -depth exam. “

Update: Jorge Martín remains hospitalized for a pneumothorax and fractures

Dr ángel Charter, MotoGP doctor, spoke of a “High energy fall“But was reassuring: “He is aware, oriented”he told Dazn, MotoGP diffuser in Spain. “The radiological examination that we have practiced indicates that it has a pneumothorax. One of the ribs could be affected but it is difficult because the pneumothorax envelope prevents us from seeing the image well. We will transfer it to Hamad General Hospital, practice a scanner, and see the extent of pneumothorax.”

“If it is too important, it will be necessary to practice an incision. We have stability with painkillers. We cannot say more before doing the scanner.”
