Jorge Martin will be "almost 100% fit" in Portugal as heroic Qatar display keeps title hopes alive

Jorge Martin says he’ll be “almost 100% fit” for MotoGP’s next stop in Portugal after a heroic Qatar weekend that kept Marc Marquez’s title hopes in check. After finishing seventh at Lusail on Sunday, Martin shifted from early-week doubts about skipping the race due to a fractured right wrist to claiming third in Saturday’s sprint and enduring pain through the grand prix. He started 11th, and with Francesco Bagnaia’s withdrawal he was 10th on Sunday, then admitted he couldn’t ride, brake, or push as hard as normal. Martin heads to the Algarve 60 points behind Marquez and 14 ahead of Marco Bezzecchi.
