Raul Fernandez, who rides for Trackhouse MotoGP Team, has had an unlucky start to the last two races of the season. It was not so long ago when he celebrated a brilliant win in Australia and was full of confidence. However, things changed quickly when he suffered a heavy crash on Friday morning at Portimao.

After the crash, Fernandez tried to continue. He returned to the track for Practice and even managed to finish eighth in Saturday morning's FP2 session. This showed how determined he was to keep racing. But the pain in his shoulder continued to worsen.

After discussions with the medical team and his team staff, the decision was made that Fernandez will not race the rest of the weekend in Portugal. The main reason is discomfort and limited movement in his shoulder, which makes it unsafe to continue.

The team hopes that by resting and getting treatment now, Fernandez will be able to return stronger for the final round of the MotoGP season in Valencia next weekend. The Valencia race is especially important, as it is the last chance for riders to end the season on a high note.

For now, Fernandez will focus on recovery. The team and his fans are hoping to see him back on the bike at full strength soon.
