After a broken collarbone: Collin Veijer aims for a comeback in Indonesia

During FP1 at the Red Bull Ring, Moto2 star Collin Veijer broke his left collarbone in a crash. On Tuesday following the race weekend, the KTM Ajo rider underwent surgery, after which he worked hard on his recovery.

However, the Japanese Grand Prix came too soon for Veijer. As a result, Moto2 European Champion Milan Pawelec stepped in for him at Motegi. The 19-year-old Pole finished 24th and last in Sunday’s race.

Collin Veijer is ready for his comeback

The Indonesian Grand Prix takes place this coming weekend. Veijer intends to make his comeback there. “The last two weeks have gone something like this: injury, operation, training, simulator, physiotherapy and even more training. Ready for the comeback!” wrote the 21-year-old on his Instagram account.

First, Collin Veijer must pass the medical check at the circuit on Thursday – after that, nothing will stand in the way of his return to his racing bike. The Dutchman has secured two podium finishes so far in his second year in the Moto2 class – third place at Jerez and second place at Misano. He currently sits 10th in the World Championship standings with 75.5 points. It was recently confirmed that Veijer will continue to ride for KTM Ajo in the Moto2 World Championship in 2027.
