The build-up to the MXGP of Portugal has been overshadowed by significant news: Tim Gajser is officially out of the race in Águeda, and speculation about his physical condition is intensifying.
Rumors circulating in the paddock indicate that the Slovenian star may undergo surgery as early as Tuesday—a development that could have a major impact on the rest of his 2025 campaign.
Gajser suffered a dislocated shoulder following a hard crash during the second moto at the Swiss GP. In the two weeks since, he and his team have been working tirelessly in hopes of making it back for Portugal.
Lewis Phillips of VitalMX recently echoed these rumors, stating: “From what I hear, Tim Gajser will have surgery and be out for some time. Just what I hear.”
