Milan, 22 Sept. (LaPresse) – His participation had been in doubt following the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix due to a compartment syndrome issue in his right arm (also known as ‘arm pump’), which had slowed him down at the Misano round, but Jorge Martin has confirmed that he will not be having surgery. Given how he felt over the weekend following the Misano round, during which he competed in the Austrian Grand Prix, winning on Saturday and finishing second on Sunday, the Aprilia Racing factory rider has announced that he will not be going under the knife. “I’m happy,” he said. “I think the situation is difficult, of course, because I’m not 100 per cent, but I feel much better than I did at Misano,” he explained after the race at Spielberg. “We’re on the right track,” added number 89. “Tomorrow (referring to Monday 21 September, ed.) I won’t be having an operation. We’ll try to carry on like this. Now I’ll try to rest and recover properly after these two races, which have been physically gruelling. We’re heading into the Asian rounds in great shape, with a better understanding of the bike and the good news that I won’t be having surgery, which would have involved risks.”
