Reigning MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia has successfully undergone surgery on his right forearm during the sport's summer recess. Ducati confirmed the procedure on Wednesday, with the Italian now targeting a return at the upcoming Silverstone race.
Francesco Bagnaia, the current MotoGP world champion, has opted to address a long-standing issue with his right forearm by undergoing surgery. The Italian rider took advantage of the mid-season break to have the procedure, as confirmed by his team, Ducati.
The surgery was performed on his right forearm, a move that has been anticipated as Bagnaia sought to resolve discomfort he has been experiencing. With the operation now behind him, the focus shifts to his recovery and rehabilitation.
Ducati has indicated that Bagnaia's goal is to be back on track for the next round of the championship, which is scheduled to take place at the iconic Silverstone circuit in Great Britain. The team will be closely monitoring his progress in the coming weeks.
This proactive surgery during the break is a smart move by Bagnaia and Ducati, prioritizing long-term performance over short-term discomfort.
