[luminox™-]

 

Damn it seems like it's been hitting Alex Rins. The Suzuki Ecstar MotoGP racer, on Thursday (3/6), was officially announced to be absent from the Catalunya Grand Prix (GP), which took place this weekend, 4-6 June. The 25-year-old driver suffered a broken right wrist. Not in the elbow with the bike but when practicing the bike. As a result, he could not compete at the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit, Montmelo, Spain.

Crash reported that after the accident, Rins was immediately transferred to Dexeus University Hospital for a medical examination. Rins was also examined with a CT scan because it was reported that he had suffered a blow to the head. But the test showed no concern. Director of the Hand Surgery and Microsurgery Unit in the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedic Surgery at Dexeus Universitari Hospital, Xavier Mir, said Rins suffered from a fracture of the right distal radius articular bone with minor displacement and high inflammation.The doctor continued, there are two options to restore the position of the bones. The first is to immobilize the fracture with a plaster, but recovery will take about 4-6 weeks. And take surgery because it is considered the best option. The plan, the Suzuki racer is ready to undergo surgery by installing two screws on the right hand bone on Friday (4/6) morning local time."It's a shame what happened today. I really wanted to race in Montmelo and have a solid performance to get back on track after some difficult races. I will try my best to recover quickly. . Thank you for the support," said Rins.

 

 

Shinichi Sahara, Team Suzuki Director was shocked to hear the news. "We as a team will give the best way to deal with this situation. We hope that Joan Mir can get a good result this weekend, but of course we lose Alex. Of course we all wish him a good operation, a speedy recovery and come back better." strong as soon as possible," he said.

Until now Suzuki has not decided who will replace Rins to fill the vacant seat at the Catalunya GP this weekend. Currently, only one name is recorded, Joan Mir. Suzuki test rider, Sylvain Guintoli, seems like the strongest candidate, because he is already in Montmelo and understands the character of the GSX-RR best.

After crashing in the last four MotoGP races, Alex Rins' misfortune continued in the form of a cycling accident. That makes the Suzuki star absent from the Catalunya GP this weekend. Obviously detrimental to Suzuki because they will find it difficult to be able to pursue the constructors' title this season. The Japanese manufacturer will also find it difficult to keep the team title they won last year. Up to six series, Suzuki is in third place in the constructors' standings with 69 points, far adrift from Yamaha, which is at the top of the standings with 132 points. (Bgx/Raju)
