Jorge Martín, Raúl Fernández and Fermín Aldeguer Face Qatar Medical Checks

Jorge Martín, Raúl Fernández and Fermín Aldeguer face medical assessments before their participation in the Qatar Grand Prix can be settled. MotoGP’s November 4 event bulletin lists all three riders with clearance still conditional ahead of the Lusail weekend.

Aprilia’s Martín is due for a medical check Thursday after missing the points-scoring races at the Malaysian Grand Prix. The assessment matters to a rider who remains Marc Márquez’s principal championship challenger.

Trackhouse Aprilia rider Fernández also needs a medical assessment because of broken fingers, according to MotoGP. His teammate Ai Ogura finished fourth in Malaysia.

Aldeguer is traveling to Lusail with Gresini, but his return to riding depends on a Thursday medical check. The bulletin does not treat his presence at the circuit as confirmation that he can race.

Gresini also has a separate substitution: Iker Lecuona continues as a stand-in, this time for Álex Márquez, who underwent shoulder surgery after Sepang. Álex Márquez is aiming to return at Portimão, the report said.
