Adrian Huertas, what a mess: crash and right foot injury, the Thailand GP is already over.
Barely time to begin, and he’s already KO. Adrian Huertas was involved in a nasty crash right at the end of the Moto2 Practice, with raindrops making some spots very slippery.

The spearhead of the Italtrans Racing team, in whom hopes of glory are placed, really has no luck... He’s restarting exactly as he finished the 2025 season, with a bad crash and a resulting injury. A heavy blow for both him and the team, but now the race against time begins to avoid missing more GPs and to return to the Autódromo Ayrton Senna in just under a month.
