Aprilia rider Jorge Martin will miss the Australian MotoGP race after fracturing his arm during Saturday's sprint race. He crashed while battling for the lead with Marc Marquez on lap eight. Initial fears of two fractures requiring surgery were eased when the team confirmed a non-displaced fracture of the distal radius. Martin's injury is a significant setback to his world championship aspirations, as he trails leader Marquez by 10 points with four races remaining in the season.
