Martin could not feel his hand due to nerve problems

Jorge Martin has revealed that he has had nerve problems in his right arm since a horrific drop in training for the Portuguese Grand Prix last year. The Spaniard did not score for the fifth time this year, but after falling in the race in Le Mans, he explained that his right arm was numb, so he had no feeling when accelerating and braking, and because of the problem he will see a doctor.

“Since last year, I have had nerve problems in my arm that often make me sleepy,” Martin explained. “I tried to race on, but from the third lap I didn’t feel the throttle and brake lever. I didn’t know how much gas I opened or how much I was braking, I was just trying to get to the finish line. I had a lot of problems with this last year, but then it all got better after a few therapies. It was the first time this year that I had these problems and it was the only problem today. I thought I was strong. I started the race badly, but then I started gaining places until this problem came up. ”

Martin is considered one of the candidates for a seat on the Ducati factory team, but his rivals Jack Miller and Enea Bastianini finished the race on the podium at Le Mans, and he himself recorded a long run without points, causing him to slip to XNUMXth place in the championship. . “Enea and the factory Ducati are in good shape. I think I was in just as good shape this weekend, I only had this problem in the race. But the fact is that I will have to show results. I would like to stay with Ducati, but for me at the moment it is to return to my level. ”
