Viñales injury recovery and confirmed MotoGP exit (15 clusters)
Maverick Viñales to return for Japanese GP following injury and KTM dispute
MotoGP rider Maverick Viñales is set to return for the Japanese Grand Prix in Motegi after missing the previous four races. His absence was due to a serious left shoulder injury involving the infraspinatus tendon, which required surgery and ongoing treatment.
Viñales has expressed significant frustration with KTM, alleging that the manufacturer misled him regarding his future. Despite previous assurances of a permanent role for 2027, KTM has reportedly decided to dispense with him for that season. The rider described feeling deceived by the team's management during his recovery process.
