Espargaro may remain on the sidelines for 🐻ꦕa further four months until August, report.

His GASGAS Tech3 team hope he could be 🐟fit to race in two months, at Mugello (🔴11 June), Sachsenring (18 June) or Assen (25 June), the report says, but medical professionals have a longer time-frame in mind.

Espargaro🐎 crashed at the season-opening Portuguese MotoGP in FP2, and has miss🐓ed all six races across three rounds so far as a result.

𝓀He suffered a broken jaw which has required surgery, a lung issue and also has a back injury.

His brother Aleix Espargaro has previously said: ༺“He will have a very long recovery process. The most important thing is that he can recover. 

“He wants to get on the bike tomorrow, but that ♎can't happen. 

“The important thing, being young, is that he recovers well from the issue of hiꦗs back because it is a complicated injury.

“It seemed that it would ꦇbe all a little less but 💮he is in a lot of pain.”

The brutal details of Pol Espargaro’s recovery

His jaw injury, on the right side of his face, was impairing his h🌸earing. Th🔜e surgery to fix it meant several teeth were extracted, and replaced by implants.

His lung contusion a🤡ffected his breathing capacity. His breathing is being partially supported by a ventilator.

His back injury needs more re⛎st and will prevent any serious rehabilitation work starting.

When his back and lung pr🔯oblems are healed, he will need several weeks of training just to rebuild the core fitness required to race a MotoGP bike.

When will Pol Espargaro be back?

Estimates for his comeback are July 9 (Kazakhstan), August 6 ဣ(Silverstone) or August 20 (Spielberg), according to Speedweek.

Jonas Folger replaced E𝓀spargaro for GASGAS Tech3 at the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas, and is signed up to race 🍷at Jerez and Le Mans on May 14.

Although Folger is un♓confirmed beyond May 14 because of the team’s optimism surrounding Espargaro’s return, it is expected that he will continue deputising until GASGAS Tech3’s top rider is ready.
