“He tried to ride, but after just three laps, Fernandez had to understand that the condꦺition of his right arm doesn’t allow him to ride the way he wants to,” RNF Aprilia confirmed.

“The Spaniard will need ཧto skip the rest of the French GP in order to recover f𝕴or the next round.”

The RNF Aprilia rider recently underwent 🃏arm pump surgery after complaining of being unable to ride.

“I couldn’t stop the bike,” he had previously said. “🐲I can’t feel my rigꦕht hand.

“I went to the doct🅺or to see what we can do because it’s impossible to ride in MotoGP like this. It’s impossible.”

Fernan🐼dez arrived at Le Mans this weekend optimistic that he could ride.

“I feel good to ride,” he said in advance of the wཧeekend. “I hope I can get at least the c෴hance to try my RS-GP and find out how my arm feels on the bike.

“This weekend, we don’t have to talk about results at all, the main ℱthing is, I will be able to ride and try to get back to shape and ♏enjoy.”

But ultimately it was too soon.

Both of RNF Aprilia’s riders will now be absent. Miguel Oliveira is absent with a shoulder injury after ဣa crash involving Fabio Quartararo in Jerez, so will be replaced by Lorenzo Savadori.
