The starting grid for the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin will have two fewer drivers with the withdrawals of Brad Binder and Remy Gardner, both of whom recently underwent surgery in Barcelona.
Brad Binder, author of a very good race in Argentina despite the pain, suffered yesterday as expected a surgical procedure at the Universitario Dexeus Hospital in Barcelona, under the direction of Doctor Xavier Mir: “We removed the old plate, then a new one was inserted. Finally, we removed bone tissue from the arm to insert it into the fracture, allowing the bone to knit back together as quickly as possible. »
The South African rider will have to stay in hospital for 24 or 48 hours before starting his convalescence which should last three weeks, giving him the hope of making his return to Jerez, from May 5 to 7, on the handlebars of his KTM .
Same doctor and same prediction for Remy gardner, Tech3 pilot who got up with the fractured right ankle after being mowed down by Takaaki Nakagami at the first corner of the Argentine Grand Prix.
