Italian Franco Moribdelli will need about eight weeks of recovery after left knee surgery, which would mean the team racer will Petronas SRT probably missed both races MotoGP in Austria, followed by a five-week summer break in August.
It's Morbidelli knee injury stumbled upon some time ago in motorcycle training, and the public learned about it for the first time at a race in Barcelona, where the three-time MotoGP race winner stumbled and fell during a motorcycle replacement exercise. The injury was then on Tuesday before the race in Assn with another drop in training made it worse to the extent that he needed surgery for damaged ligaments.
"With the VR46 team and academy, we have decided to fix a problem that has been with me for too long," explained Morbidelli. "I underwent surgery in the morning, and now I'm just thinking about getting back in top shape as soon as possible."
The Italian gets his hands on the fact that they have teams and racers this year a five-week summer break, as there will be no races during this time, and he will be able to recover in peace and prepare for the races, but in addition to the race in the Netherlands, he will probably have to also miss the race in Austria.
This weekend he is being replaced by a Petronas SRT motorcycle American Garrett Gerloff, who replaced at Valencia’s training camp on Friday last year Valentina Rossi. This time, Gerloff will drive the entire MotoGP race for the first time this weekend, but if Morbidelli is not in the first race in Austria, Gerloff will not be able to replace him due to his obligations in the Superbike Championship, which opens the door to the test Yamaha racer.
