Since his crash at the Sachsenring last year, KTM Tech3 rider Maverick Viñales has been struggling with a persistent shoulder injury. Following further consultations during the summer break and a recent visit to the Red Bull Athlete Performance Centre (APC), Viñales will sit out the race at Silverstone and focus on his ongoing recovery. At the British Grand Prix, KTM test rider Pol Espargaro will take the reins of the RC16 in Vinales’ place.
