(June 18, 2026) — After an accident during the qualifying race for the Latvian Grand Prix on June 6, Andrea Bonacorsi underwent successful surgery at Riga Hospital in the following days.
Having returned to Italy a few days ago, the Italian rider will need few weeks to return to racing, and will therefore be forced to miss the next three rounds of the FIM Motocross World Championship: the Italian, Portuguese, and South African Grands Prix.
If his recovery progresses as expected, Bonacorsi will be able to return to training in a few weeks, with the goal of returning to racing at Foxhills for the British Grand Prix, scheduled for July 18 and 19. The Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP Team does not plan to replace Bonacorsi, pending his return.
