From the first press releases, we felt that Albert Arenas' fall while cycling was not insignificant.
6th in Qatar, team driver Angel Nieto recovered with a laceration of the spleen which required an intervention by Dr. Muxart to avoid removal of the organ.
The Spanish pilot then remained in intensive care for a few days while he was replaced in Argentina by Alex Viu.
Ten days later, Albert Arenas has still not received the green light from the doctors and is therefore forced to skip the North American event.
Even if he raced this Sunday at Estoril in the FIM CEV championship and it has not yet been made official, we can assume that it will be again Alex Viu who will replace him alongside Raul Fernandez this weekend in Texas.
Albert Arenas : “It costs me a lot to announce that I will not be able to run in America. After 15 days... I'm better, but I still don't have the doctors' approval. Times are difficult but I want to prepare for Jerez. I’m sorry to my team and to all of you who support me.. I will be back stronger than ever.”
I owe mucho communicar que no podré correr en America.
After 15 days… I'm still better than that and I don't have the doctor's OK.
Moments last but not least when preparing to go to Jerez. Here is my team and everyone I love.Volveré más fuerte q nunca💪🏼 pic.twitter.com/khP0C4FaDj— Albert Arenas (@AlbertArenas75) April 8, 2019
