Second injured Aprilia star “feels worse” after being cleared for Malaysian GP

Aprilia competitor Raul Fernandez faces a difficult weekend at the Malaysian Grand Prix as he contends with healing hand fractures sustained three weeks prior in Indonesia. Despite receiving medical clearance to participate, the Spaniard admits his physical condition feels even worse than it did initially, noting that the Sepang layout poses an extra challenge due to its heavy braking zones compared to prior rounds at Phillip Island and Mandalika.

Fernandez plans to evaluate his comfort level during the opening practice session before determining his next steps alongside medical staff.

Meanwhile, Aprilia continues its pursuit of the riders championship with Jorge Martin. Martin encountered a setback during the previous round in Australia after crashing during the Sprint event, which resulted in a twelve point deficit to Marc Marquez.
