The pilot from Mazarrón yesterday passed the relevant recognition on the British circuit and presented the X-rays of the femur fractured on June 21
Five full weeks without competition go a long way, to rest, to meditate on what has been achieved in the first eleven weekends, to restore the body… And that last one was the most important for Pedro Acosta from Mazarrón. The last Moto3 champion and current Moto2 rider suffered a compound fracture in the femur of his left leg ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, the last appointment before the summer break, evidence that he was clearly missing. He could therefore count on six full weeks until the return of the World Motorcycle Championship in August, this Friday, in England, to get back into action.
Acosta passed the relevant medical examination at the Silverstone circuit yesterday, although without getting the go-ahead, something that will have to wait for a final test that will be run first today and with which the doctors will try to allay the doubts that are left behind by the x-ray presented by the pilot. Be that as it may, Acosta is not one of those playing for the title right now, the battle that will begin its pivotal phase in the three moves. In Moto2 with four riders in 30 points (Arón Canet is fourth), but especially with the top three separated by just one point (Celestino Vietti and Augusto Fernández with 146 and Ai Ogura with 145). Acosta is ninth overall.
Once he took the podium at the Sachsenring (Germany), where he finished second, the Murcian didn’t go straight to Assen and instead returned to the region to take advantage of the week and continue training. Unfortunately, during one of those motocross practices, he had a fall that broke his left thigh. Although the fracture initially appeared clean, tests revealed it to be a multi-fragmentary fracture in the left femur, for which Acosta underwent surgery two days after the accident at the Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona.
“We are going to Silverstone with the aim of restoring good feelings,” the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider said on social media. “My recovery has been long and I’m working hard to get back to the level we had before. Physically I feel fine, but now we have to recover the sensations with the bike. The main thing is to pick up the pace little by little to pick it up again, to return to 100% ».
Acosta returns after injury in ninth position in the championship standings with 75 points and two podiums behind him: victory at Mugello and second place at the Sachsenring.
In Moto3 with Sergio García and Izan Guevara, teammates, in three; and in MotoGP with Aleix Espargaró, 21 behind Fabio Quartararo, a fight that still includes fourth in the general classification, Pecco Bagnaia, who is 66 behind the leader but has just won the last race at Assen at a time when every Sunday shows potential to fight for victory.
