Thai MotoGP: Acosta's Rough Ride, Tech3 Rider Dodges a Bullet
The Thai MotoGP was a rollercoaster of emotions for many riders, but few had a more dramatic weekend than Pedro Acosta. The young Spaniard, riding for the Red Bull KTM Ajo team, had a rough start to the weekend and struggled to find his groove. He ended up qualifying 19th and battling with pain throughout the race, finishing a disappointing 15th.
Acosta's Painful Struggle
Acosta's pain was a huge concern, leading to a thorough medical evaluation after the race. The fear was a fracture, but thankfully, it was ruled out. The diagnosis was a strong ligament sprain, which explained his struggles on the track. It's a tough break for the young rider who showed so much promise in the early rounds of the season.

The Spanish rider crashed heavily during the race, leading to fears of a broken leg. However, a medical check revealed no fracture. Fernandez was left with bruising and swelling, but he's expected to be back on track for the next round.
Looking Ahead

Acosta will be looking to bounce back from his tough weekend, while Fernandez will aim to build on his promising season. Both riders will be determined to make their mark in the remaining rounds of the championship.
