Spaniard Jorge Martin has been cleared ⁠to take part in Friday's opening practice session at ‌the Malaysian Grand Prix after passing ‌a medical examination on the ‌wrist injury he suffered in ‌a crash at Phillip Island, Aprilia ‌said on Thursday.

Martin fractured his right wrist during a sprint ‌race battle with title ⁠rival Marc ‌Marquez in Australia and was ruled ​out of the main race, which was later cancelled ​due to heavy rain and poor visibility.

Martin is 10 points ⁠adrift of ​Ducati's Marquez in the MotoGP standings with four rounds remaining.

"Martin will be out on track ‌in the opening stint of a crucial grand prix in the ever-changing 2026 title race," Aprilia said in a statement.

"MotoGP’s medical team will review Martin again after FP1 (Free Practice 1)."

Trackhouse Racing's Raul Fernandez was declared ‌fit after recovering from a ​finger fracture that forced him ‌to miss the Australia round, while Honda riders Luca Marini and Joan Mir are also set to return after ⁠overcoming illness.
