Aprilia ceo massimo rivola

Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola: Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martin underwent successful surgery on his right hand after suffering a crash during pre-season testing earlier this week in Sepang, Malaysia. Despite fracturing both his hand and foot in a highside crash, the Spaniard did not require surgery on his left foot, his team Aprilia Racing confirmed on Friday.

Martin’s crash occurred on Wednesday when he lost grip and was thrown off his bike, hitting the tarmac face first and shattering his helmet visor. The 27-year-old subsequently returned to Europe, where he underwent surgery in Barcelona.

“Jorge Martin has undergone surgery for a displaced fracture of the head of the right fifth metacarpal, with reduction and percutaneous fixation using an intramedullary screw,” Dr. Xavier Mir stated in Aprilia’s official release.
