Somkiat Chantra will not compete in the MotoGP French Grand Prix due to not fully recovering from forearm surgery performed last week. The 26-year-old Thai rider underwent surgery for compartment syndrome at the Dexeus Clinic in Barcelona by Dr. Xavier Mir’s team. Despite a successful procedure, Chantra wasn’t fit in time for the French round, as recommended by Dr. Mir. Consequently, LCR Honda will have only one rider, Johann Zarco, at Le Mans, as no suitable replacement was found. Chantra, a MotoGP rookie, has faced challenges adapting to the Honda bike, with his best result being 16th place at the US Grand Prix and no points scored yet.
