After managing just three laps in opening practice at the Sachsenring on Friday morning,168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Aleix Espargaro has withdrawn from the remainder of the German MotoGP weekend.

The Aprilia star, who fractured the fifth metacarpal in his right hand in a fast Sprint acc꧑ident last Saturday, hoped that the heavy left-hand bias of the track (just three right-hand turns) would make the pain manageable this weekend.

But the 2025 HRC test rider - who shaved off the ‘bad luck’ blond hair after his Assen accident - was s🍰een struggling to put a modified glove on before the session.

Doctor Charte was then s༒een making an ‘it’s over’ gesture as he spoke with a glum Espargaro on his re❀turn to the pits after his few slow laps. Aprilia duly confirmed that the #41 will take no further part in the weekend.

"I had a lot of pain before coming here," Espargaro said. "The doctors told me I wouldn't be able to ride but I didn't want to stay at home. So I came here and tried but it's impossible. I have a lot of pain every time I turn into the right corners and I cannot control the throttle so it's also dangerous for the oth🦩ers. So I'm forced to stop."

Espargaro, currently ninth in the world championship, 🧔has until the British MotoGP at Silverstone on August 2-4 to recover.

With Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori also injured at Assen, Maverick Vinales will ride alone this wꦕeeke♑nd.
