Jorge Martin will not undergo surgery on Monday after the Austrian Grand Prix to address his arm-pump problem. The decision follows a strong weekend for the Aprilia rider: he won the sprint and took second place in the main race at the Red Bull Ring, moving 12 points clear of Marc Marquez in the MotoGP championship.

The issue had become more significant after the San Marino Grand Prix, where Martin slipped to fifth following an unexpected bout of arm pump. He had then said that surgery might be required after Austria, before the flyaway tour scheduled to begin the following month. Speaking on MotoGP’s After the Flag, in comments reported by Crash.net, Martin said he was still not at 100 percent but felt much better than he had at Misano.

Martin’s immediate plan is to rest and recover from two races he described as physically demanding. He also called surgery a major risk and said he would continue without the procedure for now, heading into the Asian tour believing he is in good shape and understands the bike better. The available report does not provide a new timetable for reconsidering surgery.

Second place was the limit in Austria

Martin led during the early stages of the 28-lap main race, but accepted that he did not have enough speed to beat Pedro Acosta. He regarded second as the best result available. The closing laps required careful management of rear grip, with Martin finding it increasingly difficult to put the power down while also keeping Bezzecchi behind him. The Austrian weekend therefore delivered more than a strong result: it supplied valuable points and gave Martin a clear advantage as the championship continues.
