Jake Dixon has been forced to call an early conclusion to his 2020 Moto2 World Championshi🔯p season after undergoing surgery on his injured wrist ahead of thi🍬s weekend’s Portimao round.

The Briton fell ahead of the Valencia Europa round just over a week ago and suffered a fractured wrist, forcinꦐg him out of that round and the second Valencia event a weekend l♋ater.

The Petronas Sprinta Racing rider has now confirmed he won’t compete in Portugꦐal after a two-hour operation on his wrist at Spire Manchester Hospital was required to rep𓃲air several broken bones and cartilage damage.

“It’s been a tough time since my F🧸P2 crash at Valencia two weeks ago. Unfortunately, the injury was worse than expected, so we had to undergo surgery on it. I want to say thanks to Dr. Mike Hayton and his team for the great job they did on Friday, and also to my family, team and fans for the support they have given me this past week. 

“It’s definitely the worst way 🍌to finish what was a great second year in Moto2™, but I’m sure this will make us stronger next year. It’s a pity I can’t participate🌟 in the final round of the season because I’m just really looking forward to being back on my bike. 

“We will fol🐷low the rehabilitation plan the doctor has prescribed to be fit as soon as possible.”

The premature end to Dixon’s season came just as he was in the midst of an upswing in form that saw him lead much of the Le Mans race, before scoring his mai𒉰den top five result in Aragon. He has re-signed with Petronas Sprinta for what will be his third season of Moto2 in 2021.
