After the MotoGP test day at Mugello, Raúl Fernández underwent surgery on his right arm. The rider had been affected by arm pump since the start of the season.
Taking advantage of the fact that the championship now stops for three weeks before the Dutch GP, the Spaniard from Trackhouse Racing underwent the operation, which went successfully, by the doctor Xavier Mir.
After last Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix, Fernández had admitted that he was having issues and would have to have surgery – this after his 12th place in a race in which he suffered a lot from physical difficulties.
The #25 shared the news of the surgery on social media, writing: ‘A quick stop in the box to solve the arm pain I’ve been experiencing since the start of the season. Thanks to dr. Mir for his work. The goal now is to rehabilitate to be at 100% for Assen. See you in three weeks!’.
After seven Grands Prix, Fernández is in 12th place in the championship, having always scored points after the retirements in the first two rounds. His best result was sixth place in Barcelona and he is currently three places above teammate Miguel Oliveira – although he only has one more point.
A quick stop at the box to finish with the arm pump that I have been dragging from the start of the season. Thanks to Doctor Mir for his job. Now focus on the rehab to be at 100% for Assen. See you in a few weeks. 🔥🚀#RF25#ALLIN25 pic.twitter.com/x35Rpwbyee
