At the Italian GP in June, the Spanish racer shattered his leg. In spite of this setback, he quickly started the healing process and participated fully in the Grand Prix competitions held in Australia, Indonesia, and Japan. Regretfully, surgery was required due to a problem that occurred later. He is ready to fight with LCR Honda one last time to wrap up the 2023 season after making a full recovery and getting back to peak form.

The #42, a six-time winner of MotoGPTM races, will move on to new pastures in 2024 after agreeing to a contract with Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGPTM. On Tuesday, the Official Valencia Test in Spain is expected to see him make his YZR-M1 debut.
