The man from Mazarrón will undergo emergency surgery in Barcelona next Wednesday and will miss the Dutch GP this weekend
Bad news. Pedro Acosta from Mazarrón will not be able to compete this weekend in the Dutch Grand Prix, the 11th round of this season, after breaking his thigh during motocross in Murcia on Tuesday morning. The driver from Puerto de Mazarrón, for example, misses the race that marks the beginning of the summer holidays for the entire World Cup line-up. The good news is that he will then have five weeks to recover well before returning to action at Silverstone on the first weekend in August.
As reported by Red Bull KTM Ajo in a statement, the current Moto3 World Champion suffered an accident while motocross this Tuesday morning, with the misfortune of breaking the femur of his left leg. Thus, Acosta was quickly transferred to Barcelona, to the Dexeus clinic, so that Dr. Mir and his team can analyze the condition of his leg and decide which path to take over the next few hours.
The first information indicates that it is a clean fracture, which is always positive within the severity of the injury. His team confirmed late on Tuesday that he will undergo surgery tomorrow, Wednesday.
This accident comes at the worst, when he climbed the Moto2 general classification after a first, sixth and second place. Acosta was 58 points behind World Cup leader Celestino Vietti if there is still half a World Cup to play. This accident and his time in the operating room slowed him down as he began to enjoy himself in the intermediate category of the World Motorcycling Championship.
