Danilo Petrucci has been forced to withdraw from the remainder of the season-opening Qatar MotoGP after re-damaging h🅰is healing hand.

The Italian suffere💃d multiple fractures in his right hand during a testing 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 surger෴y have re-opened under the stress of riding.

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