Overview

  • He took part in FP1 at Estoril and placed ninth before worsening symptoms prompted officials to declare him unfit for the weekend.
  • He will miss all three races at the penultimate round, giving Andrea Locatelli and Alvaro Bautista a chance to cut into his points lead for third.

  • He has seven podiums this season with Barni Ducati and is set to join the factory ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team in 2026.
