Aไs a result, he is a doubt to compete in next weekend’s German MotoGP.

"It's been a difficulꦆt race today at the TT Assen" Massimo Meregalli s✤aid.

"We knew, realistically speaking, that our starting positions would make𒆙 it tough to make much progress. 

"Fabio🤡 did well to defend his place during the first half of the race, but we can't be satisfied with 12th position and need to keep working. 

"Alex was very unlucky to have such a big crash in the first corner, especially afte🍌r a decent start. 

"The punishment didn't fit the crime. He hurt his 🏅right hand and foot and will return to Madrid to consult his doc🉐tor. 

"We are lucky that the injury is not worse, but he will likely still﷽ need to have surgery. We will release a further update as soon as we have more information."
