Moto3 rider Jacob Roulstone has broken a vertebr🌃a in his neck in a tr💃aining crash.

The Australian was preparing for his second full season in the Moto3 World Championship, for which he has been re-signed by the Tech3 team he made his debut with ༒in 2024.

The crash both fractured and displace🌳d Rouls🐻tone’s C3 vertebra, after which he was taken firstly to hospital in Jerez before being transferred to Barcelona.

“Last Friday I had༒ a crash wh꧒ilst training at Jerez which has left me with a fractured and displaced C3 vertebrae in my neck,” Roulstone wrote on Instagram.

“After three nights in Jerez hospital, I was lucky enough to be 𒁏medically flown to Barcelona yesterday (20 January) and now in the best hands to have surgery in the next day or two.

“It’s a real shame to have this after such a good prꦜeseason I was having, but now it is about recovering as fast and as safely as possible to be back on the bike.

“Cannot thank [Xavi Arenas] enough for being by my si🏅de and helping to arrange everything. As well as the medical staff involved.”

Roulstone’s second season in Moto3 will be one in which he looks to build on the positive flashes he showed in 2024, but which he could not display coꦰnsistently.

At the time of writing, no timeline has been♔ made clear ಞon his recovery.

The first round of the 2025 Moto3 World Championship is schedulꦍed for 28 February–2 March at the Buriram International Circuit in Thailand.
