Ai Ogura, MotoGP rider for Trackhouse Racing, has been operated on for a wounded thumb during a training session near Tokyo. The accident took place this week and has resulted in a bone fracture in his left finger.
The surgery, performed by renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Xavier Mir in Barcelona, involved the insertion of a plate in the fractured area. The team has communicated that evaluations will take place over the weekend to determine the rehabilitation plan Ogura will have to follow.
At this moment, it cannot be confirmed whether he will be able to compete in the San Marino Grand Prix, scheduled from September 11 to 13. He currently holds the third position in the championship and has been forced to miss the Aragon Grand Prix due to his injury.
Ogura was training during a break after the Silverstone Grand Prix when he suffered the accident. This injury represents a significant setback in his fight for the championship, as just days before he had dropped from second to third place in the overall standings, with a 37-point deficit to Jorge Martin, the current leader.
