He’s been declared fit, but won’t participate in the FP2 due to the painkillers he was administered. We’ll monitor his condition and update before FP3'.

Fabio Quartararo has been declared fit to continue the Au🐼stralian MotoGP weekend after undergoing medical checks following a nasty fall during wet opening practice at Phillip Island.

The 20-year-old Frenchman immedi♈ately grabbed his lower left leg aꦇfter landing awkwardly and was carried away on a stretcher before being transported to the circuit medical centre.

Quartararo set the sev🐠enth fa♔stest lap time in opening practice, 1.6s behind the factory Yamaha of Maverick Vinales.
