Motorcycling Acosta’s operation is a success and he could be at Silverstone

The pilot from Mazarrón can quickly set foot on the ground thanks to the placement of a nail in his broken thigh

The surgical procedure that the driver from Mazarrón Pedro Acosta underwent this Thursday has been a success and his team’s plan is that he can return to the British GP on 7 August next year, the first after the summer break starting after the race of next Sunday in Assen (Netherlands). The Moto3 world champion has had a nail placed in his thigh and thanks to the reinforcement of several screws, Acosta can be on the ground in a few days. Acosta was operated on by Dr. Ginebreda, at the Quirón-Dexeus Institute in Barcelona, ​​and as soon as he is discharged he returns to Murcia.

Acosta had an accident while motocross at the Ceuti circuit on Tuesday morning, with the misfortune of breaking the femur of his left leg. It was a clean fracture and that has helped the success of the surgery and consequently shortened recovery times. The accident happened when the ‘Tiburón de Mazarrón’ jumped with its front wheel to the ground, spitting at him and hitting him hard on the thigh of his left leg.

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. Acosta felt so comfortable in the final races that after finishing second in Germany, he flatly ruled out the jump to MotoGP next year.
