Noah Dettwiler’s recovery “going to plan” weeks after horror Moto3 crash
Noah Dettwiler is on track with his recovery following a dangerous Moto3 crash at the MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix, stating that he is “in good hands” and that his rehabilitation is progressing according to plan.
The Swiss racer endured severe injuries to his lungs and legs, necessitating multiple surgeries including the removal of his spleen after the incident involving Moto3 champion Jose Antonio Rueda in October.
Acknowledging he still has a long road to complete recovery, Dettwiler expressed gratitude for the support from his family, girlfriend, and sister during this challenging time, emphasizing the strength derived from the well wishes and messages received.
Despite facing uncertainty over his timeline for full recuperation, Dettwiler declined a Moto3 contract extension for 2026, while Rueda confirmed positive recovery progress as he prepares for a Moto2 promotion with Ajo KTM in 2026.
The decision to proceed with the Malaysian Grand Prix following the incident drew criticism, particularly from MotoGP figures like Pecco Bagnaia, as questions arose concerning the handling of the situation given reports of cardiac arrest conflicting with initial statements of consciousness from both riders.
