Moto3 rider Noah Dettwiler is in a "stable" condition and is "no longer critical" after a serious accident with Jose Antonio Rueda, according to the Swiss rider's team, CIP Clean Power.
Rueda and Dettwiler had to be airlifted by helicopter to hospital after a big collision at Grand Prix Malaysia on Sunday.
Following a series of surgeries, CIP Green Power issued an update on Wednesday: "According to the doctors, Noah's condition is now stable and no longer critical. He will continue to be monitored closely in the intensive care unit."
The crash at the Sepang Circuit took place on the sighting lap ahead of the scheduled race, with Rueda coming out of the third corner on the outside of the track before making contact with Dettwiler, who was travelling much slower.
The medical car was sent to the crash and Rueda was taken to the Sepang medical centre. An ambulance attended to Dettwiler on the track.
Two helicopters took the riders to a nearby hospital. Race directors said that both Rueda and Dettwiler were conscious.
There has also been an update on Rueda's health, after it was reported that he had suffered a fracture in his hand and bruising on his lungs.
Red Bull KTM Ajo said: "On Monday, the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider was transferred to a private hospital to continue his recovery and to monitor the bruising on his lungs more closely, which are recovering well.
"As a result, doctors believe it is possible for him to return to Spain tomorrow to undergo surgery on his right hand in Barcelona in the coming days."
On Sunday, later after the race, the CIP Green Power team released an initial update on their Instagram account.
They wrote: "This morning, during the sighting lap at Sepang, our rider Noah Dewiller was involved in a serious accident.
"He was taken to the hospital in Kuala Lumpur and will need to undergo multiple surgeries.
"He is in good hands, and we kindly ask you to respect his privacy. We will not be sharing further details at this time.
"Noah is a true fighter, and the entire CIP Green Power team is right behind him. We will keep you updated as soon as possible."
The Moto3 race was held later on Sunday, with Taiyo Furusato of Honda Team Asia claiming the victory.
Angel Piquera (FRINSA-MT Helmets-MSI) and Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) were second and third, respectively.
