The Suzuki rider fractured his right spoke on Thursday after falling while cycling around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after colliding with a vehicle.
Rins was transferred to the Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona , where the radiological tests carried out on him revealed the fracture in his arm and the doctors recommended going through the operating room this Friday.
After undergoing surgery by the team led by Dr. Xavier Mir , head of the center’s hand, elbow and microsurgery unit, the #42 is expected to start his rehabilitation on Monday and be ready for the next German Grand Prix. , in two weeks.
“Today Alex Rins has undergone a minimally invasive fixation with cannulated compression screws. If there are no complications, I think he will be able to start functional recovery next Monday, and we do not rule out that he can compete in two weeks at the Sachsenring ,” said the Dr. Mir.
The Barcelonan came from four consecutive falls in the last four grand prix ( Portimao , Jerez , Le Mans and Mugello ). He is 13th overall, with only 23 points and fourth place in the Doha Grand Prix as the best result of the season.
“The operation went well and I am already thinking about my recovery and getting back to 100% as soon as possible. All this has left a bad taste in my mouth and I apologize to the team for not being able to compete this weekend. Last year we got a great result here, with both bikes on the podium, and it’s a shame we can’t do it again this year.Today’s operation hopefully means as short a recovery time as possible, and that’s why we’ve made the decision surgery. I will do everything possible to be back for the German Grand Prix. Thank you all for the messages of support”, commented Rins.
Suzuki declined the possibility of replacing the Spaniard this weekend at the Catalunya GP and Joan Mir will be alone in the box, despite the fact that the Hamamatsu manufacturer’s tester, Sylvain Guintoli , is present in Montmeló as a television commentator British and to take part in the official MotoGP test scheduled on Monday.
