Oct 20 (Reuters) - Pramac ⁠Racing rider Toprak Razgatlioglu will ⁠miss the remaining rounds of the ‌MotoGP season due to a shoulder injury, the team said on Tuesday.

• Razgatlioglu dislocated his shoulder ​in a crash during ⁠practice at this ⁠month's Indonesian Grand Prix, but went on to ⁠compete ‌in both the sprint and the race.

• "After further medical ⁠assessments following the crash in Mandalika, it ​became ‌clear that my shoulder injury is worse ⁠than ​we first believed," Razgatlioglu said in a statement posted on social media.

• "As a ⁠result, I will undergo surgery ​in the coming days to give myself the best chance of making a full ⁠recovery and returning at 100%."

• The 30-year-old, who is a multiple World Superbike champion and was competing in his ​first season in MotoGP, ⁠is 21st in the championship.

• Pramac said ​Yamaha test rider Augusto ‌Fernandez would fill in ​for Razgatlioglu.
