As a result, he will miss the upcoming races in Australia and Malaysia, and his participation in Portugal also appears doubtful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe injury is quite serious,\u201d Tardozzi told TNT Sport. \u201cIt prevents him from taking part in the next two races (Malaysia and Portugal), we\u2019ll see what happens for the latter.
