However, he is sti🧜ll planning to make his delayed GASGAS race debut in the following rounds leading up to the&♏nbsp;summer break.

The 31-year-old sustained multiple fractures to his jaw, ribs, neck and back in a nasty practice accident at the Por𒁏timao season-opener.

Esp🧜argaro's initial target was to rejoin the Tech3 team for round six this weekend but he ‘still has a small edema issue🍰 around his vertebrae’ that needs treatment.

Team and rider are now hoping Espargaro will be fit for the following Sachsenring and/or Assen rounds, held on consecutive weekends after Muge𒀰llo.

“I was really looking forward to getting back on my bike but, as I said from the beginning, the final decision would be made for me by the doctors and they asked me to wait a few more days," Espa⛄rgaro said.

"My original plan was to return for one of these next three races before the summer break and this continues to be the ideaꦚ.

"The most important t🧜hing is to be physically ready, and this call means I have a few more d💎ays to keep working at home and arrive in the best form possible and as soon as possible.

"I’m feeling really good and I’m really mo🐻tivated. I hope to see the team and everyone in the sport, and for sure the fans, as soon as I can.”
