Pedro Acosta, the promising rider, has unfortunately been sidelined from the Australian MotoGP due to shoulder injuries sustained during a highside crash. Initial checks have revealed that there are no fractures, but the rookie rider is still experiencing significant pain. He will need to undergo further medical evaluation to determine if he can participate in the upcoming Buriram round.
According to a recent update from Tech3, Pedro Acosta, who was on pole for the previous Motegi round, is dealing with stretched ligaments in his shoulder as a result of the crash. He visited a hospital in Melbourne for further examination, where it was confirmed that there are no fractures, which is a positive development. The team is hopeful that he will be able to rest and recover before being re-evaluated for the Thai GP.
Unfortunately, Acosta has been unable to score points in the past four races, including Sprints, causing him to fall behind in the championship standings. He is currently 11 points behind his future teammate Brad Binder in the fight for fifth place and the title of the top non-Ducati rider in the world championship. Tech3 team manager Nicolas Goyon expressed his well wishes for Acosta’s speedy recovery and hopes to see him back on the track in Thailand.
In addition to Acosta’s injury, VR46’s Fabio di Giannantonio will also be sitting out the Buriram round as he requires shoulder surgery to address damage from a previous dislocation. This will mark the end of the season for di Giannantonio, who will focus on recovering and preparing for the next season.
As the MotoGP season continues, injuries are unfortunately a common occurrence in the world of motorcycle racing. The physical demands of the sport require riders to push themselves to the limit, often leading to accidents and injuries. It is crucial for riders to prioritize their health and well-being to ensure they can perform at their best on the track.
We wish Pedro Acosta and Fabio di Giannantonio a speedy recovery and hope to see them back on the track soon, ready to showcase their talents once again. In the meantime, fans will eagerly await updates on their conditions and look forward to the exciting races ahead in the MotoGP season.
