Setback for Miguel Oliveira in Mandalika
The inaugural practice session of the Indonesian Grand Prix kicked off with excitement on Friday, but it also brought unfortunate news for one of the competitors. While Johann Zarco distinguished himself by posting the fifth-fastest lap time, fellow rider Miguel Oliveira faced significant challenges on the track.
During an intense moment on the circuit, the Portuguese rider lost control and suffered a severe crash in turn 4, resulting in a violent fall from his Aprilia. Medical teams quickly arrived on the scene to assist him, and initial evaluations suggest that he has sustained a wrist fracture. According to a statement from Trackhouse, it was reported: “Miguel has a fracture in his right wrist. He is undergoing a three-dimensional CT scan at Mataram Hospital to determine if surgery is necessary. We will provide additional updates as soon as possible.”
