Fermin Aldeguer To Miss Buriram Test And Thai GP

Fermin Aldeguer is to miss the final test of the 2026 MotoGP season at Buriram on February 21st and 22nd, as well as the first round of the season in Thailand to be held a week later, from February 27th to March 1st. Gresini Racing today announced that Spaniard is still recovering from breaking his femur in a training accident at the beginning of January. Aldeguer is to be replaced by Ducati test rider Michele Pirro at the first round of MotoGP.

It was widely expected that Aldeguer would not be fit for Buriram. It usually takes between 6 to 8 weeks before a femur fracture has healed sufficiently to carry your full weight. Returning to full fitness can take many months. The Buriram round of MotoGP starts 7 weeks after Aldeguer’s crash, which is too early to have much strength in the leg.
