Aussie GP: Acosta's Injury Update - Is He Out for the Race?
The Australian Grand Prix is just around the corner, but a huge cloud of uncertainty hangs over the race - what's the latest on Acosta's injury?
It was a shocking crash for the young Spaniard during the MotoGP Argentina race that left everyone wondering if he'd be fit for the Phillip Island GP. The impact was brutal, and the images of him writhing in pain on the track were hard to watch.
The initial diagnosis was a fractured scaphoid in his right hand. While the team initially said he might miss just one race, the recent news is not so good. After further evaluation, it looks like surgery is likely, which would definitely rule him out of the Australian GP.
This is a huge blow for Acosta, who was off to a strong start in the 2023 season. He was flying high after a podium in the first race and a strong performance in the second.
It's tough to say exactly how long he'll be out, but the surgery will likely keep him on the sidelines for a while.
Acosta's absence will be a massive loss for the Moto2 grid. He's been a real contender this year, and his skill and passion have kept fans on the edge of their seats.
