Jorge Martin is ready to ride again after a long time away from racing. The Spanish rider has been given medical permission to take part in the final pre-season test before the new MotoGP season begins. This is very good news for his team and for his fans.

The test will take place at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. It is an important circuit for pre-season preparation. Riders use these days to improve their bikes, try new parts and feel more comfortable before the season opener.

Martin has had a difficult year because of injuries. He hurt his wrist and collarbone in crashes and needed surgery. After many months of recovery and training, doctors have now said he is fit enough to ride again. He has worked very hard to return to full strength.

This test is especially important for him because he missed earlier pre-season sessions. He has not spent much time on his new bike from Aprilia. More laps will help him understand the machine better and build confidence. Every lap will also help his body get used to the speed and pressure of MotoGP racing again.

The Chang International Circuit in Thailand is known for its long straights and heavy braking areas. Riders must be strong and precise there. Weather conditions in Thailand are usually hot, which makes the test even more demanding. Good physical condition will be very important.

Martin last rode a MotoGP bike during a test in Valencia at the end of last season. Since then, he has focused on recovery and fitness. Now he finally has the chance to prepare properly for the new season.

Fans will be excited to see him back on track. Many people believe he can fight at the front again if he stays healthy. The Buriram test is the first big step in what he hopes will be a strong and successful season.
