Earlie😼st injuries detailed for Alex Rins after crashing out of Dutch MotoGP

Alꦛex Rins’ Dutch😼 MotoGP ended at Turn 1 after a brutal highside.
The Yamaha rider was able to walk away himself, and went to♒ the medical centre at the circuit initially.
The earliest discoveries of injuries are a fracture in Rins’ right foot and a severe brui𒁏se on his right wrist.
He is immediately flying to 🐬Madrid where he will undergo more medical tests.
As a result, he is a dou🐬bt to compete in next weekend’s German MotoGP.
"It's been a difficult race today at the TT Asse൲n" Massimo Meregalli said.
"We knew, realistically spea✨king, that our starting p🔯ositions would make 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 s🦩atisfied with 12th position and need to keep working🎐.
"Alex was very unlucky to have such a big crash in th🌳e first corner, especially after a decent start.
"The punishment didn't fi♛t the crime. He hurt his right hand and foot and will return to Madrid to consult his doctor.
"We are lucky that the injury is not worse, but he will likely stil⛦l need to have surgery. We will release a further update as soon as we have more information."
It was a miserable day for Rins which started with news that he is likely to extend his 💟stay at Yamaha.
Rins’ current contract is expiring this year but he and Yamaha managing 🦩director Lin Jarvis both told Sky Italia that they are deep into negotiations over a ne🦄w deal.
There is renewed optimiꦏsm at Yamaha this weekend after confir🌊mation that they have added Pramac as a satellite team.
By keeping Rins💃 in their factory team alongside Quartararo nexꦅt year, Yamaha can focus on filling their two new bikes.
Teammate Fabio Quartararo finished the Dutch ෴MotoGP in 12th, exactly where he started the race.
Quartararo ends the weekend 12th in thꦆe MotoGP standings, and Rins 20th.
