Francesco Bagnaia underwent successful foot surgery in Turin on November 10. Ducati says his recovery over the coming days will determine when he can race again.

Two weekends remain on the calendar

According to MotoGP’s report, the two-time MotoGP world champion crashed on the opening lap of the Qatar Sprint following contact with Fermín Aldeguer. He fractured the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones in his right foot.

The official schedule lists Portugal for November 20–22 and Valencia for November 27–29. These are race-weekend dates, not deadlines for Bagnaia’s return: his participation has not yet been announced.
