Pecco Bagnaia is out of the Czech Republic MotoGP and next weekend’s Austrian MotoGP at least after he was confirmed wi🍷th 🍷a fractured tibia as the result of his accident during FP1 in Brno.

The Italian crashed his Pra✃mac Ducati heavily at turn one during the closing stages of the first practice session to necessitate a trip to the medical centre.

Advised to und𝕴ergo an MRI scan at Brno University Hospital, those scans ༒have revealed Bagnaia has fractured his right tibia, requiring immediate surgery.

As a result, Bagnaia is confirmed to be out of this weekend’s Brno race and also Roun꧒d 4 at the Red Bull Ring, while Round 5 a week later at the same Austrian venue is also under threat for t🍨he Italian.

"Right now, he’s undergoing an MRI and after that we will know more,” Praꦕmac boss Francesco Guidotti told MotoGP’s Simon Crafar ahead of the confirmation.

“For sure, he will not ride here, and most probably in Austria it will be really tough. Before creating some fake newsജ or something that can be misunderstood we will wait for t🤪he results of the MRI and the doctor will say what's going on."

The news is a bitter blow for Bagnaღia at a crucial moment for his career, having come close to a maiden MotoGP podium last time out in Jerez.

On that occasion a technical problem prevented him from completing the second place finish he was heading for, though his 2020 form is understood to have elevated his status as a potential alternative to Andrea Dovizioso should ⛦Ducati not reach an agreement with the triple MotoGP runner-up for 2021.

Moreover, with the Brno and Red Bull Ring expected to suit the Ducati GP20, the chance for a b𝔉race of good re🌳sults has now gone for the 2018 Moto2 World Champion.
