Fermin Aldeguer has taken to social media to provide an update after breaking his leg
Gresini MotoGP rider Fermin Aldeguer has given a positive update after successful surgery for a serious leg injury sustained in a training crash at the Aspar Circuit in Valencia.
The operation on Aldeguer’s fractured femur in Barcelona has been confirmed as a success, but a timeline for his recovery is yet to be provided by Gresini.
Aldeguer himself took to social media to express optimism, stating, “The worst is behind us. Time to restart with the same fighting spirit. We’ll be back soon!”
With a lengthy healing process expected for femur fractures, it is uncertain when Aldeguer will return to racing and if he will miss pre-season testing and the season opener in Thailand.
Potential replacements could include Ducati test rider Michele Pirro or World Superbike star Nicolo Bulega, with Ducati seeking to avoid setbacks in their 2027 machine development plans.
Gresini is set to unveil its 2026 season livery on 31 January in Malaysia, with Aldeguer’s status for the upcoming season still uncertain.
