Disappointing news has emerged regarding Francesco Bagnaia, as medical staff have confirmed a successful operation on his right foot. The star rider for the Ducati Lenovo Team suffered a high-side crash during the Sprint race at the Lusail International Circuit, which resulted in fractures to his fourth and fifth metatarsals.
The surgery took place on Tuesday morning at the Humanitas Cellini Clinic in Turin. A medical team led by Dr. Luigi Milano successfully performed a fixation procedure on the fourth metatarsal, securing it with a metal plate. According to official reports from the team, the operation was completed without complications.
The injury occurred during the early stages of the Sprint, where a heavy high-side forced the two-time world champion to retire from the Grand Prix of Qatar. Following the surgery, the Italian rider has immediately shifted his focus toward the initial stages of his physical rehabilitation.
As of now, there is no concrete timeline for his recovery. The Borgo Panigale factory team plans to monitor his progress closely over the coming days to determine when he will be fit enough to return to his Ducati Desmosedici GP machine for the final rounds of the 2026 championship.
This injury represents a significant setback for Bagnaia as the season reaches its conclusion. Whether he will be able to compete in the final two Grand Prix weekends in Portimao and Valencia remains uncertain and will depend entirely on how his body responds to the healing process. Further updates will be provided by the team as they become available.
