This news regarding Raul Fernandez is perhaps the turning point in the Moto2 title race taking place this season. The Spaniard from the Ajo team is in fact the only serious threat able to prevent his teammate Remy Gardner from taking the crown in the category at the end of hostilities. Already, during the last meeting at Silverstone, he had let go by falling during the British Grand Prix. He had escaped unscathed. But as is often the case, injuries happen in training...
Thus Raul fernandez announced on social media that he had fractured the fifth metacarpal in his right hand during training. The Spaniard, who has already had surgery, will still go Aragon, and if he is declared fit, he will try to honor the Grand Prix with his presence. The future Tech3 KTM rider in MotoGP wanted to thank Xavier Mir, who operated on him, as well as the physiotherapist Carlos J García.
« Last Friday I fell during training and unfortunately broke the fifth metacarpal in my right hand. I would like to thank Dr Xavier Mir, who operated on me on Sunday morning to start my convalescence as quickly as possible. I feel pretty good after the operation. We have already started our rehabilitation work and my hand is doing better than expected. I want to thank physiotherapist Carlos J García for this. I am positive, even if I will have to improve little by little” says Raul fernandez.
Raul Fernandez: “ the right hand is the one you use for the gas and brake »
“After what happened, I don’t want to set myself any goals for this Grand Prix. I want to take it day by day, see how I'm going to feel, because the right hand is the one you use for the gas and the brake. Aragon is a track that I really like, since I got my first podium in the world championship there last year. I will do my best to be able to race on Sunday, if my hand allows it” " finished Raul fernandez who we can hardly see being a formidable competitor this weekend to regain points from Remy gardner.
