Here is the absolute reality of MotoGP: you can ride through broken bones for a stunning podium, but the machine always demands its due in the end. Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP team) arrived at the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia carrying the physical cost of his superhuman ride at the Indonesian GP, where he managed to take a podium despite having fractured fingers.
Unfortunately, the toll of that #25 machine proved too much as his recovery continued. Having already been forced to withdraw from the Australian GP, the rider showed up at Sepang and managed to secure the green light to take part in FP1, heading out onto the circuit for the session.
That said, a review conducted immediately thereafter changed everything. Medical officials declared him officially unfit, forcing the #25 out of the remainder of the event entirely so he can shift his focus entirely toward making a full recovery.
Get well soon, Raul!
