The Italian Ducati rider, Francesco Bagnaia, has successfully undergone surgery on his right forearm, aiming to compete in the British Grand Prix taking place at Silverstone from August 7 to 9.
The intervention was recently carried out at the Orthopedic Clinic of the University Hospital of Modena. Although the team did not detail the nature of the condition that required the operation, it is believed that Bagnaia was treated for compartment syndrome, a common problem among MotoGP riders due to the physical demands of the competition.
Bagnaia attended an event in Rome, where he was appointed sports ambassador by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Just a day later, he underwent surgery with the confidence of recovering during the summer break of the championship.
Ducati’s statement confirmed that the operation, led by Professor Luigi Tarallo, was successfully conducted without complications. Now, the rider will begin his rehabilitation, aiming to return to the tracks to compete in Silverstone.
