Maverick Vinales has admitted that he will not be back to 100% fitness until the 2026 MotoGP season.

After being declared unfit for the Austrian Grand Prix and next week's Hungarian Grand Prix, Maverick Vinales has provided an update on his condition.

The Spaniard has been struggling with his left shoulder since dislocating and fracturing it during a wet qualifying session at the German Grand Prix.

Vinales used the Austrian Grand Prix as a test for his physical condition, but was declared unfit on Saturday after qualifying at the back of the grid.

He will now return to the sidelines to continue his recovery, but has admitted that he will not be back to 100% fitness until the 2026 MotoGP season.

"It was important to be on the bike this weekend to understand where I stand," said Vinales.

"Coming back just one month after that injury is already a miracle, because you normally need two to three months to be ok, and we probably won't be at our 100% until next year, but I could be on the bike this weekend, so it's already amazing.

"However, we need a bit more time to be at the maximum. It is going to be a long process, we will try to train well, to recover the muscle, and hopefully we can be back and fast soon.

"We will discuss things through with the team, but it is clear that there is no point for me to be in Hungary if I can't be at 100%. It is probably smartest to be at home and continue recovering."

Tech3 Team Manager Nicolas Goyon stated: "Maverick needed to understand his physical condition after his surgery.

"He tested his shoulder as he rode all FP1 on Friday, and partially yesterday afternoon, as the pain was quite big. It was still painful this morning, so there was no point to carry on this weekend."
