Maverick Vinales heads for hospital checks on a possible shoulder injury after violent highside in MotoGP qualifying at Sachsenring.
Maverick Vinales has been taken to a local hospital for further evaluation following a severe shoulder injury during a wet qualifying session at the German MotoGP. The highside incident occurred at Turn 4, causing Vinales to be thrown from his RC16 bike. Although he was able to walk away, he was sent to the medical center for assessment and later to the hospital for detailed checks on his shoulder. This unfortunate event puts Tech3 KTM in a difficult position, as Vinales’ teammate, Enea Bastianini, is already out of the Sachsenring round due to appendicitis. Despite the crash, Jack Miller, who experienced a similar incident, managed to qualify ninth by returning on his spare bike. If Vinales is cleared to race, he will start from twelfth position in the MotoGP Sprint race, scheduled for 3 pm local time.
