Collin Veijer's Austrian Grand Prix weekend came to a premature end after a crash in Free Practice 1 at the Red Bull Ring left him with a broken left collarbone. The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider, who had shown promising pace, will miss the remainder of the event.
The incident occurred at Turn 6, where Veijer lost control of his Kalex machine. He was immediately taken to the medical centre, where X-rays confirmed the fracture. The team later announced that the 21-year-old will not participate in FP2, qualifying, or the race.
Veijer will travel to Barcelona as soon as possible to undergo surgery, which will be performed by renowned specialist Dr. Xavier Mir. The quick intervention is aimed at speeding up his recovery, though no timetable has been set for his return to racing.
This is a significant setback for both Veijer and his team. The Dutchman was enjoying a strong sophomore season in Moto2, with several podium finishes to his name. His absence will also impact the championship standings, as he forfeits valuable points from the Austrian round.
Despite the disappointment, the team remains hopeful that Veijer will bounce back stronger. With Dr. Mir's expertise, the recovery process should be as efficient as possible. Further updates on his condition are expected in the coming days.
