Franco Morbidelli to miss this weekend’s Czech MotoGP at Brno due to lingering shoulder pain, but will still be at the track.
Franco Morbidelli will miss the Czech Republic MotoGP at Brno this weekend due to injuries from a crash at Sachsenring during a Sprint race. Despite undergoing medical checks and physiotherapy, it was decided that Morbidelli should skip this event before the summer break. Morbidelli, the VR46 Ducati rider, confirmed the decision, citing the risk of competing with persistent pain from the previous crash. Although Morbidelli won’t race, he will be present at Brno to continue his recovery program with the team. His absence means Fabio di Giannantonio will be the sole representative for VR46 at the Czech Republic MotoGP, with just a three-point lead over Morbidelli in the standings.
