Overview
- Morbidelli suffered a heavy crash during Saturday’s wet sprint race at Turn 8, resulting in a severe left clavicle contusion that ruled him out of Sunday’s German Grand Prix.
- Doctors at Sachsenring’s on-site medical center examined Morbidelli before transferring him to a Chemnitz hospital for further evaluation.
- The Italian’s withdrawal follows earlier sidelining of Somkiat Chantra, Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales, reducing the MotoGP field from 22 to 18 riders.
- Sprint race format combined with slippery conditions under late-afternoon rain has triggered multiple crashes and intensified injury risks this weekend.
- Teams and officials are prepared to adjust grid positions and continue monitoring Sunday’s weather forecast.
