Fermín Aldeguer is set to say an early goodbye to the Moto2 World Championship. Last Sunday, the rider fractured his left wrist following a collision with Tony Arbolino (Elf Marc VDS/Kalex) during the Thai GP.
SpeedUp confirmed that the Spaniard will undergo surgery and will miss the Malaysian GP. It is still uncertain whether he will compete in the Valencia GP—or the season finale, should the Ricardo Tormo Circuit be unable to host the championships due to the damage caused by storm Dana.
However, according to the newspaper AS, MotoGP medical director Ángel Charte believes Aldeguer might be able to participate in the test scheduled for two days after the GP. If he can take part, he will debut on a MotoGP bike with Gresini.
If he is unable to return to action in Moto2, Aldeguer will have an inglorious farewell to the class before moving up to MotoGP. He is currently in fourth place in the championship with three victories, but inconsistent performances have already left him out of the title race.
