SEPANG, Malaysia — World MotoGP champion Jorge Martín has fractured his right hand and bones in his left foot in a crash in preseason testing with his new team Aprilia. Martín was thrown off his bike in the "highside" crash at the Sepang circuit and landed heavily, hitting his head against the track. The MotoGP series said in a statement that Martín would undergo surgery in his home country of Spain later this week for the fractures, but that scans had ruled out any head injuries.
