Jorge Martin before comeback: hopefuls for MotoGP in Qatar!

Jorge Martin, the reigning MotoGP world champion, is about to make his comeback at the Qatar Grand Prix. His team, Aprilia, announced on Tuesday the return of the rider who missed the start of the season due to injuries following crashes during testing in February. Martin is optimistic and said he is happy to be able to compete in Qatar provided he passes the necessary medical check.

The world champion won the title on a Ducati last year and hopes to be at the top again this season. In the first three races of the season, Alex Marquez is currently leading the overall standings, while his brother Marc Marquez is in second place. Martin now has the opportunity to get back into the action in this early phase of the championship.

Review of the season and fall statistics

The corners and challenges of the MotoGP season are particularly intense this year. A significant issue is the fall statistics, which show that drivers are faced with enormous challenges. As a recent analysis shows, there were a total of 358 crashes in MotoGP in the 2023 season, with not a single race taking place with all 22 regular riders. Injuries resulted in nine riders being sidelined.

Marc Marquez, who still plays an important role, leads the fall statistics with 29 falls and did not take part in three of the 20 race weekends due to injury. Joan Mir follows with 24 crashes, while Aleix Espargaro and Augusto Fernandez each recorded 23 crashes but completed all races. Despite the high number of crashes, Franco Morbidelli was the only driver to be able to finish all 20 Grands Prix this season.

The exciting and challenging races show how many drivers face the dangers of the sport. In the context of these statistics, Martin’s comeback is particularly eagerly awaited. Due to his previous successes and the current situation in the overall standings, he could be a decisive factor in the early season.

The fans and the motorsport community are looking forward to the developments in the next race, where Martin wants to prove himself again. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops for the former world champion and whether he can find his way back to the top.
