MotoGP: Aleix Espargaró did not listen for long to the doctors who advised him to rest

In what state of form will the current second in the championship and therefore candidate for the title Aleix Espargaró be in Austria next weekend? The answer to this question will impact the course of a championship which promises to be played by three drivers until the end of the game, with multiple referees able to disrupt their direct confrontation, and none of whom will be favorable to the interests of Fabio Quartararo... Except to divide so that he reigns... In the meantime, the Aprilia official gives his news before heading towards the Red Bull Ring and we see that he did not really listen to his doctors who advised him to more rest so that he can recover from the fracture of the heel of his right foot...

A fracture which had not initially been detected by the MotoGP medical authorities who had taken care of him immediately after his terrible fall. FP4 of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. At that point, it was just a bruise. But after a heroic Q2 and a race full of self-sacrifice which allowed him to finish ninth in the wake of his rival Fabio Quartararo, Aleix Espargaró went to see the specialists in Barcelona, ​​who indeed diagnosed a fracture.

An injury that did not require surgery, but a clear prescription: rest for seven days and walk with crutches so as not to put strain on the foot at any time. Aleix Espargaró did not listen to his doctors for very long and after a moment of calm, he went back to work while listening to his words of Spanish music which encouraged him to get moving again: “ They say I can't, what difference does it make, I follow my own path, I don't care, I dream hard and what's more, my fight is the only one that matters... ».

Before his motorcycle Aleix Espargaró took the handlebars of his bike again

He's careful to be with his feet up and on his knees, trying not to fully support his foot to avoid making his situation worse. Finally, on August 12, he got back on his beloved bike again. The real verdict, however, will be his reunion with an RS-GP which will impose on him the unique physical constraints that only a MotoGP is capable of producing. But apparently he will be in better shape than on a Sunday at Silverstone…
