Tech3 KTM rider Maverick Vinales will be forced to skip yet another round of MotoGP competition, withdrawing from the French Grand Prix at Le Mans
Tech3 KTM rider Maverick Vinales will miss the French Grand Prix at Le Mans due to an ongoing shoulder injury that required surgery to remove a displaced screw.
Vinales had hoped to return at Le Mans after working hard to recover, but medical advice deemed him not yet strong enough to compete.
This setback extends Vinales’ time off the track, as his shoulder injury has now affected him for nearly a year.
With Pol Espargaro also injured, KTM-affiliated rider Jonas Folger will substitute for Vinales at Le Mans for his 20th MotoGP start.
Vinales remains focused on regaining full strength and prioritizing his recovery for future competitions.
