Aldeguer crashed on Lap 2 of the Indonesian GP, sustaining a fracture at the base of the first metacarpal bone in his right hand. Following successful surgery and a recovery period, the #54 is ready to return to the grid this weekend.
Meanwhile, Alex Marquez underwent surgery after the Malaysian GP, with hopes of returning in Portugal. Stepping in for the #73 is Lecuona, who will take part in his fifth MotoGP weekend of the season, having already substituted for Gresini on multiple occasions this year.
Welcome back, Fermin and speedy recovery, Alex!
