MotoGP rider Fermín Aldeguer of BK8 Gresini Racing will miss round 12 at Silverstone as a precautionary measure. He has medical clearance to resume training from August 15 and is expected to return around a month later at Aragón. Iker Lecuona will stand in for him — the same rider who previously filled in for Alex Márquez at the Hungarian round.

Calling it 'a precaution' was the smart choice of words. No need to rush when there's already a clear path to resume training from August 15, rather than pushing through and dragging this out. About a month until Aragón isn't a bad window to get the body right. Lecuona's filled in before, in Hungary — that's proof the pit box trusts him.

A month until Aragón is kind of a long wait.

Missing 1 of 12 rounds — impact on the standings looks limited.

Recovery matters more than standings, honestly.

Second stand-in after Hungary — clearly trusted.

Lecuona stepping in again — so cool.

First time I've heard of Lecuona, actually.

'Precaution' is such a convenient word.
