Morbidelli to miss Malaysia, Qatar MotoGP tests as recovery continues
Franco Morbidelli has received advice from doctors to refrain from participating in any sports activities for the next three weeks after undergoing further examinations in Italy. This means that he will not be able to return to action until the first round of the season on March 10 in Qatar. Morbidelli’s participation in this weekend’s Sepang test was already uncertain due to a major crash he had during training in Portugal at the end of January. However, it was revealed on Tuesday that his recovery will take longer than expected, causing him to also miss the pre-season test in Qatar later this month. The crash and subsequent recovery period have had a significant impact on Morbidelli’s preparations for the 2024 MotoGP season.
