“Bastianini underwent surgery on his left ankle and left hand fracture🌌d in yesterday's crash at theCatalan GP,” a Ducati statement confirmed. 

“The two surgeries, performed by Prof Catani and Tarallo at the Policlinico of Modena, were conc📖luded successfully, and Enea will soon begin the post♕-surgery recovery.

“The Ducati Lenovo Tea🔯m rider will have to miss the next home GP in Misano and the two events scheduled at the end of the month in India and Japan.”

Th🐟at mea🌞ns he is due to return in Indonesia, round 15, on October 13-15.

It is the latest major setback in a se♔ason that has been devastated by injur🍰y.

Bastianini earned a call-up from Gresini to the factory Ducati team this season꧑ 🦋and began the season as one of the favourites to challenge the reigning champion, his teammate Francesco Bagnaia.

Their potentially rocky re🍸lationshi𒅌p was a key talking point as 2023 started.

But Bastianini cra𝐆she♌d in the first-ever sprint race on the opening weekend, injuring a shoulder which left him sidelined.

He has completed just three grands prix after 11 rounds, and even thꦦey were limited as he recovered from his shoulder issue.

Hi🤪s manoeuvre last week✨end in Barcelona was heavily criticised by some rivals.

Zarco accused him of trying to be “a hero” by attempting a lunge which could have turned “tragi𒐪🍒c”.

And Aleix Espargaro insisted his attempt to overtake “25 riders on the first corner” wꦗas overly-reckless.
