Danilo Petrucci has been forced to withdraw from the remainder of the season-opening Q♊atar MotoGP after re-damag🍌ing his healing hand.

The Italian suffered multiple fract𒈔ures in his right hand during a testing fall at Phillip Island last month, bu﷽t travelled to Losail to try and ride.

Initial results were promisi🎃ng, but Petrucci was left in pain at the end of FP3, with an X-ray showing a dislocated bone segment of the third metacarpal. Meaning some ൲of fractures that had been sealed by surgery have re-opened under the stress of riding.

The problem will force Petrucci to miss Sunday's opening race and he may yet req♉uire a second round of surgery.
