Porsche driver Toprak Razgatlioglu is set to have an MRI scan on his right shoulder on Monday to assess whether surgery will be required following a painful crash during the Indonesian Grand Prix weekend. The Pramac rider sustained a severe impact to his shoulder during the final practice session at Mandalika on Saturday, causing it to dislocate and forcing him to continue the session despite the injury.
Despite attempting to race in the Indonesian Grand Prix on Sunday, Razgatlioglu was unable to finish the event due to the debilitating pain and loss of power in his shoulder. He revealed that he continued the race despite Pramac's recommendation to withdraw due to the severity of his injury. Razgatlioglu admitted to feeling some uncertainty after suspecting his shoulder had dislocated again during Sunday's race, but expressed no regret for trying to complete the race, stating that other riders would have given up in his situation.
He will return to Turkey on Monday for a thorough scan of his right shoulder to determine the need for surgery, hoping that rest alone may be sufficient for the upcoming race.
