Moto3 rider Noah Dettweiler gives first personal update on his health from Switzerland

Moto3 riders Noah Dettweiler and Jose Antonio Rueda were injured during the grid formation lap of the Moto3 race at the Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang, and the emergency medical team led by Dr. Angel Charte revived them several times on track to save their lives, but they are recovering well.

José Antonio Rueda, the most talented rider after losing speed midway through the line and colliding with Dettweiler, has already started rehabilitating his operated right hand and is expected to be able to start the 2026 pre-season of the new Moto2 category without any problems. And Noah Dettweiler spoke out in a statement for the first time since the accident.

“Life and my sports career have presented me with great challenges. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has sent me so much love, good energy and positive messages in recent weeks. This has helped me a lot,” Dettweiler begins in a statement from his new agency on Instagram.

“I am currently undergoing rehabilitation and hope to make positive progress. I would like to sincerely thank my medical team and rehabilitation professionals. Thanks to these professionals and their dedication, I will be able to work on my recovery in the best way possible.”

“I would like to thank my family, my girlfriend Canel, my followers and fans for the great support. I would also like to thank the team, management and advisors who have been with me over the past two years in Moto3. My first goal now is to improve and prepare for my personal and professional future,” concluded the Swiss rider, who will not continue with French team CIP Green Power next year, where Scott Ogden and Adrian Cruces have already been announced as drivers.

Prior agreement with SIC58

Once Dettweiler recovers, he will join the Squadra Corse SIC58 team, which has a preliminary agreement and which he had just been required to sign at the time of the accident. Paolo Simoncelli publicly stated on his blog: “As you know, Noah Dettwiller was the victim of a serious accident during the Sepang Grand Prix. What you may not know is that he will be, or rather will be, our future driver along with O’Gorman, because we are optimistic. We had to meet soon to make the final signature.”

“Don’t give up, Noah! The team is waiting for you. Accidents like this on the formation lap should never happen. The risks are already very high in the race. Drivers need to be more careful and look around,” the Italian concluded.
