Danilo Petrucci has been forced to withdraw from the remainder of the season-open🦋ing Qatar 🔯MotoGP after re-damaging his healing hand.

The Italian suffered multiple fractures in his right hand during a testin꧋g fall at Phillip Island last month, but travelled to Losail to try and ride.

Initial results were promising, 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 of fractures that had been sealed by surgery have re-opene𝔍d under the stress of riding.

The problem will force Petrucci to miss Sunday's opening race and he may yet require a secon🉐d round of surgery.
