Injured rookie star Jorge Martin will miss next weekend’s Spanish MotoGP and be replaced by Tito Rabat.Pramac Ducati rider Martin, who took a brilliant pole position and podium in the second Qatar round, will undergo surgery in Barcelona today after suffering fractures to the metacarpal of his right thumb, the right malleolus (ankle) and left tibial plateau (knee) in a huge out-lap fall on Saturday morning in Portimao.The young Spaniard was conscious but clearly in a lot of pain and required extensive treatment in the gravel trap before eventually being moved to a waiting ambulance. Martin is now set to miss not only the Portimao race and entire Jerez weekend, but also a Monday post-race test.Normally, Ducati test rider Michele Pirro would step in to replace an injured Ducati MotoGP rider, but the Italian is taking part in ‘important’ testing at Mugello on April 29-30, to prepare for the factory’s home round.Rabat has therefore been offered the ride.The former Moto2 world champion spent five seasons in MotoGP, the last three of which were on an Avintia Ducati, before moving to WorldSBK with Barni Racing Ducati for 2021.Thankfully @88jorgemartin is conscious and recovering in hospital following this We hope to see the @pramacracing rider back on track at Jerez! #PortugueseGP DqIKu5tcLZ— MotoGP™ (@MotoGP) April 17, 2021Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Joan Mir: I felt a hit but didn’t know it was MarquezaccImages.createImage(); Aleix Espargaro matches Aprilia best, ‘podium this year’ 2021 MotoGP CalendarRoundDateRaceCircuit128 MarchQatar (Evening race)Losail24 AprilDoha (Evening race)Losail318 AprilPortugalPortimao42 MaySpainJerez516 MayFranceLe Mans630 MayItalyMugello76 JuneCatalunyaBarcelona820 JuneGermanySachsenring927 JuneNetherlandsAssen1011 JulyFinland (Subject to homologation)KymiRing1115 AugustAustriaRed Bull Ring1229 AugustGreat BritainSilverstone1312 SeptemberAragonAragon1419 SeptemberSan Marino e Della Riviera di RiminiMisano153 OctoberJapanMotegi1610 OctoberThailandBuriram1724 OctoberAustraliaPhillip Island1831 OctoberMalaysiaSepang1914 NovemberComunitat ValencianaRicardo TormoPostponed Grands Prix: 11 AprilArgentinaTermas 18 AprilAmericasCOTAReserve Grand Prix Venues:  Indonesia (Race delayed until ‘first part of 2022’)Mandalika  RussiaIgora Drive2021 Pre-season Tests: 5 MarchQatar Shakedown TestLosail 6-7 MarchQatar Official TestLosail 10-12 MarchQatar Official TestLosail
