Red Bull KTM Tech3's Maverick Viñales will miss the British Grand Prix after fresh scans revealed additional infraspinatus damage from his 2025 Sachsenring injury. KTM test rider Pol Espargaró steps in at Silverstone, saying he still feels part of the Tech3 family. Viñales targets a return at Aragón.
From what I've seen on the ground, extra damage to the infraspinatus is nothing to shrug off. If the shoulder can't load up, everything from corner entry to exit — braking, grip, all of it — goes wrong. Espargaró's put in the test miles to cover the gap, but I hope Viñales heals without rushing back before Aragón.

A test rider getting a race seat is exciting, hope he shines.
Targeting Aragón basically reads as writing off the rest of this season.
A reinjured infraspinatus is nothing to rush back from.
So the 2025 Sachsenring injury has just kept dragging on.
There's something moving about Espargaró returning to his old team.
Tech3 really is the team where KTM shows its serious side.
