Ai Ogura, rider of the Trackhouse MotoGP team, has undergone surgery this week after suffering a fracture to his thumb during a training session near Tokyo.
The intervention took place in Barcelona, where the renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Xavier Mir performed the necessary procedure to insert a plate in his left thumb.
The team has confirmed that Ogura’s condition will be assessed over the next weekend, before doctors can establish a rehabilitation plan. In this regard, it is still early to determine if the rider will be able to compete in the San Marino Grand Prix, which will be held from September 11 to 13.
Ogura has already been forced to miss this weekend’s race at the Aragon Grand Prix due to his injury. He currently holds the third position in the championship, a situation that will complicate his title options, especially after having lost important points in recent races.
His accident occurred during a brief stop between races, after the Silverstone event, and has forced his team to look for a substitute for the Aragon race, affecting his chances of continuing to fight for the title.
