168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Trackhouse MotoGP team boss Davide Brivio says 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez’s test-ending crash at Sepang  was “a little bit s♉trange”.

In a dramatic first day of the pre-season for Aprilia, which also saw reigning world champion Jorge Martin taken to hospital after a heavy crash, Fernandez has been declared unfit to continue after an off aꦓt Turn 9.

Fernandez suffered a fract🀅ured metacarpal bone in his left hand as well as a broken pinkie toe, and 𒅌is now heading back to Barcelona for surgery.

“Actually, it’s a little bit strange because he was calm, he🐟 was 🌞taking his time,” Brivio told MotoGP’s After the Flag.

“But unfoꦕrtunately he had a crash, e🍃ntering into Turn 9 on braking.

“Now he has suffered a fracture of his left hand. We’re s🌞ending him back to Barcelona and he will try▨ to get the surgery as soon as possible.

“In 🐭his head he would like to be b🌄ack for Thailand - you know riders.

“But let’s see, we’ll listen to what the doctors say, how the surgery goes. We will make all of the exams and we will know more in the cominꦜg days what’s going on.”

Fernandez also missed 💯all of t🌜he first pre-season test last year due to a crash.

“Of course, he wants to be there [at the Buriram test] because Raul says he had a similar i🎃njury three, four years ago,” Brivio added.

“I🔯n only less than a week he🅷 was back on a bike, and I think he won a race.

“So, he hopes he can do the same. But, aꦆs I say, he’s going back to Barcelona, I think he will go to Dr [Xavier] Mir for the surgery, we will listen to what he says and go for further assessments and see how things ar🐓e going.”

Martin’s condition is n🌜ot yet known, but Aprilia could face th👍e prospect of completing the Sepang test with only two of its four race riders.

Despite this, Brivio says rookie A🌃i Ogura’s testing programme won’t change. 

“No change,” he said of𓆏 Ogura, who was 16th at the end of dayꦺ one after 58 laps.

“We are also quite pleased on how we🍨’re working with him, how he’s approaching this MotoGP.

“We say it’s kind of a schooling, what he’s doiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚng now. There’s so many things he needs to learn, to understand, to know, to discover.

“That’s whaཧt we’re doing. Today, after three days of shakedown, we’re working mo🌃re on used tyres, electronic setting, trying to get the feeling, how the bike is when the tyres drop - things like that.

“Many things to learn, b𝐆ut it’s nice to see him approach it. He’s very calm, he ask questions, tries to understand. So far, so good.”
