A badly-timed glitch was responsible for triggering what is set to be a multi-race MotoGP absence for Miguel Oliveira.
Due to a technical issue related to his bike’s traction control software, Miguel Oliveira suffered a broken wrist during practice for the Indonesian Grand Prix and will require surgery. The crash occurred in the first practice session due to an electrical problem on the bike, causing it to lose traction control. Despite initially appearing not severe, a fracture in the radius bone of his right wrist was discovered through scans at a local hospital. Oliveira will miss both the Indonesian and Japanese Grand Prix races due to the injury, with participation in upcoming races in Thailand and Malaysia also in doubt. Team manager Wilco Zeelenberg explained that the technical problem caused Oliveira to crash despite receiving a warning light on the dash, highlighting the reliance on traction control systems in MotoGP and the unfortunate timing of the incident.
