Rins, the bad injury in June
At the last Mugello Italian Grand Prix, Alex Rins he had suffered a bad injury at Arrabbiata 1, a fast corner on the Tuscan track. The Spanish driver had in fact suffered a double fracture of tibia and fibulawhich required two operations, the first of which was carried out immediately in Florence and the second a few days later in Madrid.
The post-operative recovery was not the easiest, so much so that the pilot was hospitalized for 16 days. The recovery path was therefore not the easiest, given that Rins missed the Sachsenring, Assen, Silverstone, Red Bull Ring, Barcelona, Misano and Mandalika.
The rider from Barcelona thus attempted to return three months later for the Motegi Japanese stage of the MotoGP, but raised the white flag after the Friday sessions and left the bike to test rider Stefan Bradl. Two weeks later Rins took part in the Indonesian weekend, finishing the Sunday race in 9th place, but was forced to give up again five days later, at the end of Friday’s Phillip Island.
The new intervention
Alex Rins wanted to see clearly about the severe nerve pain that prevented him from carrying out his work regularly and, under medical advice, he decided to investigate first with a CT scan and then with a direct interview with the team that treated him. operated on, in Madrid.
And precisely after this visit which took place on Tuesday, Rins explained: “I am happy after talking to the doctors. The injury continues to evolve positively. We have identified the cause of the pain and we will undergo a small surgery to relieve it. I will not be present in Thailand for the grand prixbut I will continue to work towards a full recovery.”
It is not yet known whether the LCR Honda team will replace its rider, as test rider Stefan Bradl is busy with a test session in Jerez and Iker Lecuona will be on track with the Superbike. And so not even in Buriram will MotoGP see its 22 starting riders line up at the start of the GPcontinuing the incredible streak of absentees that has been going on since the first match of the season.
