Dettwiler Upgraded to Stable After Sepang Moto3 Crash as Rueda Plans Return to Spain

Team updates say Dettwiler remains in intensive care in Kuala Lumpur, with Rueda set to travel to Spain for hand surgery.

Overview

  • CIP Green Power and Dettwiler’s family said his status is now stable and no longer critical, and he continues to be closely monitored in the ICU in Kuala Lumpur.
  • The collision occurred on the sighting lap when Dettwiler’s bike suffered a technical problem and slowed, leading to a high‑speed impact from Jose Antonio Rueda.
  • Both riders received trackside treatment and were airlifted to hospital, with Dettwiler undergoing multiple surgeries earlier in the week.
  • Red Bull KTM Ajo reported Rueda sustained a concussion, lung bruising and a fractured right hand, and doctors expect him to fly to Spain today for surgery in Barcelona.
  • The Moto3 race was red‑flagged after the incident and later restarted in a shortened 10‑lap format, with official condition updates posted by both teams on social media.
