Three-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia has successfully undergone a surgical procedure to repair a double fracture sustained in his right foot. The injury occurred following a heavy crash during the Sprint race at the Losail International Circuit last weekend.
The incident unfolded when Fermin Aldeguer misjudged his braking point while attempting an overtake on Pedro Acosta. The Gresini rider's front wheel made direct contact with the rear of Bagnaia's Ducati machine, sending the Italian flying spectacularly through the air.
Bagnaia landed heavily on the tarmac, immediately triggering immense concern within the paddock. Fortunately, broadcast feeds quickly confirmed that the rider remained conscious after the terrifying impact, though it was immediately clear he had suffered significant physical damage.
Initial medical evaluations revealed fractures to the fourth and fifth metatarsals in his right foot. After being transferred for specialized care, medical staff scheduled a corrective operation which was successfully performed in Turin by Dr. Luigi Milano at the Humanitas Cellini Clinic.
Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi stated that the primary objective is to accelerate his rehabilitation process. The team is aiming for a potential return at the upcoming Portuguese Grand Prix in Portimao, pending his ongoing recovery progress over the coming days.
