Fermin Aldeguer sidelined after T7 fracture in Assen

It is a brutal end to the weekend for Fermin Aldeguer. The BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP rider has been officially declared unfit for the remainder of the Tissot Grand Prix of the Netherlands after a Friday crash left him with a fracture to his T7 vertebra.

Medical director Angel Charte confirmed the injury on Saturday morning, noting that the #54 will undergo further assessment in the coming days. Thankfully, his teammate Alex Marquez was declared fit to continue the weekend despite his own earlier crash. We can only wish Aldeguer a swift and complete recovery.
