Enea Bastianini reveals food poisoning, not appendicitis, was behind his German MotoGP absence.
Enea Bastianini clarified his absence from the German MotoGP, revealing that severe food poisoning, not appendicitis, landed him in the hospital last weekend.
Contracting the campylobacter bacteria from chicken, Bastianini lost over three kilograms and endured three days without eating or drinking.
Although back racing at Brno, he acknowledges being below his peak physical condition, with weight loss posing a significant challenge.
Despite the setbacks, Bastianini remains optimistic about his performance this weekend and is focused on conserving energy for the race on Sunday.
His Tech3 KTM team-mate Maverick Viñales will miss the round due to a shoulder injury, being replaced by KTM test rider Pol Espargaro.
