Pol Espargaro will not return to the track on Saturday at Sepang, following his left foot fracture in morning MotoGP pꦯractice in Malaysia.

Tech 3 Yaౠmaha have also revealed that a small piece of glass caused the oil leak that led to Espargaro's big accident.

The Spaniard has broken the second metatarsal bone in his left foot after crashing heavily at the end of FP3 at Turn 1, after having a small shard of glass puncture his oil radiator.

Espargaro's decision to remain on track will surely be questioned given that former rival Scott Redding warned the Spaniard about a bike problem shortly before the incident, the Englishman poinꦅting to the rear end of Espargaro's M1.
