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managing just three laps in opening practice at the Sachsenring on Friday morning,168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Aleix Espargaro has withdrawn from the remainder of the German MotoGP weekend.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 accident last Saturday, hoped that the heavy left-hand b﷽ias of the trac🧔k (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 seen struggling to put a modifi♏ed glove on before the session.

Doctor Charte was then seen making an ‘it’s over’ gesture as he spoke with a glum Espargaro on his return to the pits after his few slow laps. Aprilia duly confirmed that the #41 will take no further part in th🙈e 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 others. So I'm forced to stop."

Espargaro, curre♐ntly ninth in the𝓡 world championship, has until the British MotoGP at Silverstone on August 2-4 to recover.

With Aprilia tജest rider Lorenzo Savadori also injured at Assen, Maverick Vinales will rideꦇ alone this weekend.
