Tech3 KTM MotoGP rider Enea Bastianini is at risk of missing the German Grand Prix through appendicitis – but could yet take part
Tech3 KTM MotoGP rider Enea Bastianini could miss the German Grand Prix due to appendicitis, but there is still a possibility of him participating. He was absent from the media day at Sachsenring due to what was first thought to be a fever, later confirmed as appendicitis. Bastianini will spend the night in a local hospital for observation and treatment, while Tech3 has not ruled out his participation in the upcoming weekend. The current treatment involves antibiotics to potentially avoid surgery, with updates on his condition expected on Friday morning. While antibiotic treatment for appendicitis is becoming more common, there are concerns over Bastianini’s readiness for competition after undergoing treatment. Despite challenges in his debut season with the KTM RC16, Bastianini remains optimistic about upcoming modifications to improve his comfort and performance on the bike.
