P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Saturday’s shoulder injury in the Qatar Sprint means Miguel Oliveira won’t ride a MotoGP bike again until February’s Sepang test.
Miguel Oliveira, the RNF Aprilia rider, will miss the Valencia finale and post-race test due to a broken right shoulder blade sustained in the Saturday Sprint. This injury is similar to Enea Bastianini’s earlier injury, which took two months to recover from. The accident occurred when Oliveira hit the back of Aleix Espargaro, causing a small fracture to Espargaro’s lower leg. Oliveira’s season has been plagued by accidents, injuries, and retirements, resulting in him only finishing nine out of 20 grands prix this year. He has been given a Long Lap penalty for causing the Saturday accident, which he will serve upon his return to racing in 2024. Lorenzo Savadori will replace Oliveira in Valencia.
