The Australian rider had been in an accident in the early stages of the Austrian GP and hasn't fully recovered. His goal to return for Barcelona is scheduled for early September.

Moto2: Senna Agius absent in Balaton. Intact GP rider replaced by Garcia.

This weekend, the MotoGP will be racing in the unprecedented Balaton Park track, with its narrow and winding layout, which will certainly put bikes and riders to the test. For the occasion, the LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP team has made it known that it's going to have to do without Senna Agius. The Australian rider had been in an accident during the Australian GP, sustaining a severe blow to the head when he fell. That's why the team preferred to leave him home and allow him to recover calmly before the next round scheduled in Catalonia.

Sergio Garcia will be taking his place on the Kalex. Until the Mugello round, the 22-year-old rider had been racing with the MT Helmets MSi team, but now he's going to get the chance again to make his mark.

Manuel Gonzalez will also be aiming to recuperate in Hungary, after his bitter withdrawal at the Red Bull Ring. Despite losing only six points to his closest rival, Aron Canet, the 23-year-old will try to contain the Fantic Racing rider's comeback in the overall standings as much as possible.
