Future MotoGP starlet suffers injury to threaten postseason test debut
Fermin Aldeguer confirms surgery

Fermin Aldeguer has suffered an injury which threa💧tens his participation in the postseason MotoGP test.
Moto2 rider Aldeguer has already signed a contract with Ducati and will step into 🌳the premier class in 2025 with Gresini.
His debut on a MotoGP bike - next year, he will ride a year-ol👍d spec Ducati - was due to be at the Valencia test, in the days after the final round of the season.
But Aꦓldeguer crashed on the first lap of the Moto2 ra♏ce in Thailand.
𓂃He requires surgery on his left hand, and a return date can't yet be confirmed.
"I'm disappointed with how my race ended," he posted 🦋to social media.
💞"I had good expectations and instead it went the way it went. ⛎;
"꧟The impact with Tony Arbolino was hard and I regret how things went.
"Now I have to focus on m💮y recovery and I hope to get back on track as soon as possible.
"I'm coming home earlier than expected, but I'll try to get back on track in Valenci🎉a. I'll kee🅺p you informed!"
Missing the Valenci🌟a test - or riding compromised - would be a less than ideal start to his MotoGP career for Aldeguer.
