Overview

• X-rays at the circuit confirmed a displaced fracture of Martin’s right collarbone after the Japanese MotoGP Sprint incident.
• He was transferred by helicopter to Dokkyo Medical University in Mibu for a CT scan to assess the injury.
• Starting 17th, Martin lunged on the brakes into Turn 1, lost control and struck Bezzecchi, eliminating both Aprilia riders.
• Bezzecchi is undergoing checks on his right leg, and the setback leaves him 20 points behind Pecco Bagnaia in the fight for third overall.
• This is Martin’s fourth major injury of 2025 following pre-season fractures and a Qatar crash, while Alex Rins, Johann Zarco and Jack Miller were caught up but continued.
