Following fatigue in his right forearm, which occurred during the recent MotoGP tests at Portimao, Aleix Espargaró underwent a series of tests between Tuesday and Wednesday at the Dexeus University Clinic in Barcelona. The checks revealed a fibrosis in the muscle for which a surgical operation was needed.

Aleix Espargaro didn't manage to capitalise on the number 20's P8 at Silverstone as he took ninth, but after a huge highside on Saturday left him racing with a broken heel, that became a job well done.
Aleix Espargaró underwent a series of tests between Tuesday and Wednesday at the Dexeus University Clinic in Barcelona. The checks revealed a fibrosis in the muscle for which a surgical operation was needed.

The cleaning operation, carried out yesterday, was largely successful and will allow the rider to recover in view of the first race of the season, scheduled for the weekend of the 24th-26th March.

Dr. XAVIER MIR – MD PhD
“Aleix Espargaró underwent surgery on his right forearm, due to a fibrotic retraction of the forearm fascia with compression of the median nerve in the proximal third of the forearm. An antebrachial fasciotomy and an arch release of the pronator teres muscle was performed using microsurgical techniques. He will start his recovery as soon as tomorrow”.
