Alex Rins (Suzuki), already back at the Sachsenring?

Injured wrist after being swept away in a terrible fall on the first lap of the Catalan Grand Prix ten days ago, Alex Rins (Suzuki) could already make his return to the track at the German Grand Prix this week -end, at the Sachsenring. The Spaniard still has to pass some medical tests before being deemed fit and getting back on a motorcycle.

Final decision expected this Thursday

After a short break of ten days, the MotoGP is back to tackle the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring. Meanwhile, Alex Rins began a program of electromagnetic therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, following a fractured pyramidal bone (triquetral) and trauma to his ankle. The Spaniard was involved in an accident that was impressive to say the least at the first corner of the Catalan Grand Prix, when Takaaki Nakagami lost control of his bike, taking on the Suzuki rider and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).

After a final medical check-up carried out by a doctor in Barcelona, ​​Alex Rins decided to go to the Sachsenring:

“Alex Rins came to visit me on Wednesday morning before going to Germany to assess the shape of his wrist, we have carried out some tests and it seems that the fracture is doing well, but it is not healed yet, explains the doctor in charge of his follow-up. She has not moved and is stabilizing. Alex wants to try riding, but he may need painkillers and physical therapy these days. »

“During this last week, I worked very hard to try to rehabilitate my wrist as much as possible, details the main interested party. Following the advice of medical experts, I stuck to a recovery program, and tried to gain mobility and reduce pain. I hope to arrive in Germany in good condition and on Thursday I will pass the final medical exams with the MotoGP doctors at the circuit so they can tell me if I am fit to ride or not… and if I am, I'm going for it ! »
