KTM's Maverick Viñales is set to miss the Aragon GP as well after a new setback in his shoulder, with Pol Espargaro standing in and his return now pushed back to Misano. KTM motorsport boss Pit Beirer says the team simply wants him "riding and showing his talent," but a mid-season switch to 21-year-old Senna Agius — already confirmed for Tech3 in 2027 — is being floated.

Watching from the pit wall myself, a shoulder injury is the nastiest kind. Once it's not just the top but the lower part too, waiting for Misano is really the only call. Beirer coming out and saying they 'just want him riding and showing his talent' is honestly a pretty loaded thing to say. Agius's seat is warming up, no doubt about it.

Curious how long Espargaro ends up filling in for.

Genuinely want to see Agius get the shot — locking Tech3 at 21 says a lot.

Mid-season promotions like this aren't rare in recent years.

The way Beirer's phrasing it just sounds like a polite way of showing him the door.

Dragging this out to Misano feels like it's already past the cutoff point.

Hearing it's spread to the lower shoulder too, this recovery won't be simple.
