Overview
- MotoGP doctors declared Martin fit, and Aprilia confirmed he will start the Valencia season finale.
- FIM stewards ruled his Motegi sprint crash irresponsible and assigned a double long-lap to be served in Sunday’s grand prix, not the sprint.
- If he does not take the start, the sanction carries to the next grand prix he contests.
- Returning from collarbone surgery, Martin said the injury proved worse than expected, he has done no bike training, and he will stop if pain persists.
- Maverick Vinales and Raul Fernandez were also passed fit for Valencia, whereas Marc Marquez remains sidelined following shoulder surgery.
