Marc Marquez arrived in Barcelona today and will be operated on tomorrow for the broken humerus of his right arm, which happened in a terrible fall during the Spanish GP yesterday. However, doctors are not so concerned about the bones as the possible involvement of the radial nerve, which has the function of stretching the wrist and fingers. Yesterday the doctors could not understand whether it was actually compromised, but between today and tomorrow they will surely have an answer. Even if the nerve has been damaged, recovery times can be very long.
Marc was optimistic on his social profiles last night and promised to return to racing soon. But if? It is practically certain that the world champion will have to miss the GP in Andalusia scheduled for this Sunday in Jerez, but there is hope for the GP in the Czech Republic on August 9th. Doctor Xavier Mir, who will perform the operation tomorrow, told Radio Catalunya: “The aim is for him to return to Brno. This is a serious injury and Jerez is out of the question. If the nerve is not affected, we can stabilize the fracture and Marquez can return sooner. “
What if it were so? “It would take three or four weeks longer,” replied the doctor.
