Danilo Petrucci has been declared unfit and ruled out of the Spanish WorldSBK.
Danilo Petrucci of Barni Spark Ducati has been deemed unfit to participate in the final round of the 2025 season at the Spanish WorldSBK.
Petrucci’s unfitness stems from a broken metacarpal sustained during training in Portugal, leading to surgery in Italy to repair his hand.
Despite his departure from Barni Ducati to the factory BMW squad, Petrucci’s determination to compete in the final rounds arises from his fight for third place in the standings throughout the season.
Alvaro Bautista and Andrea Locatelli are now contenders for the third-place spot with Petrucci sidelined in Jerez, following his loss of advantage in the previous round at Estoril.
Meanwhile, Sam Lowes has been cleared to ride after sitting out the Estoril Round, while Dominique Aegerter will aim to compete in Jerez after missing Estoril due to a hand injury.
