Atypical injury in the shower for Jorge Martin, which occurred last night: the Spaniard cut himself while drying off with a piece of aluminum.
Heroic, often pushing the limits at 360km/h, yet still human. This was evident from the unusual incident Jorge Martin experienced last night—certainly not a typical MotoGP rider injury. The Spaniard, who secured pole position (with a track record) in this morning’s qualifying in Austria, suffered a deep cut that required two stitches and caused significant pain in his left thumb, as evidenced by the grimaces on his face and the frequent check-ups by Dr. Charte.
Gino Borsoi spoke to Sandro Donato Grosso: “The finger issue wasn’t as serious as it initially seemed. The level of competition between him and Bagnaia is incredible, and no one expected such times today. Generally, adrenaline reduces pain, and today was the first time he put on the glove, so the stitches might cause discomfort. I think the worst is over, and today’s qualifying was the most delicate part. I believe things will go better in the Sprint at 3 PM”.
“How did it happen? He was taking a shower, and while drying off, he touched the wall of the room, which had an aluminum section, and he cut himself… It happened last night, and he had to get two stitches”, ended Borsoi.
