Aprilia officially released the latest news on the condition of defending champion Jorge Martin after he had an accident in the Qatar MotoGP, Monday WIB.
"Jorge Martin spent the night at Hamad General Hospital," Aprilia said in a statement on Monday.
Martin returned to MotoGP after missing the first three rounds due to injury recovery, but his debut with Aprilia in Qatar worsened his condition after he crashed at turn 12 on lap 14.
The Spaniard was hit by VR46 Ducati's Fabio Di Giannantonio during his fall, and the Aprilia rider required assistance at the side of the track before being taken to the circuit's medical centre.
From there he was taken to a hospital in Doha, where he was diagnosed with a collapsed lung and several rib fractures. Aprilia said Martin would remain in hospital until his lungs improved.
