Just one day after factory Honda Moto💟GP rider Dani Pedrosa underwent surgery for arm pump, LCR's Stefan Bradl has undergone the same oper𒉰ation.

While Pedrosa's decision came as something of a surprise, having not p♔ublicly mentioned the classic forearm symptoms, Bradl was hampered by a lack of strength and feeling on his way to tenth in Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix.

"I started to have arm pump after a few laps and I couldn't push any harder," Bradl had said. "I don't remember [the last time I had a problem with arm pump] but I had a꧙n o🔯peration one and a half years ago."

Upo♑n returning to Germany, Bradl visited Doctor Wolfgang Streifinger in Wertingen, in the State of Bavaria, ඣwhere the need for a second surgery was diagnosed yesterday.

'Bradl was already operated [on] to treat arm pump symptoms on November 2012 and Dr. Xavier Mir in Barcelona carrie🐎d out the surgery bu💎t, as happened to his colleague Dani Pedrosa recently, sometimes a second surgery is required especially after an intensive winter training programme,' said a team statement.

Pedrosa and Bradl🌞, sixth in the world championship with a best finish of fourth, both expect to participat🍌e in next weekend's French round at Le Mans.

"First of all I wish to thank Doctor Streifinger and his staff: we knew each other since 2010 when he operated [on] me for the first time," said Bradl. "After the arm pump problems I suffered in Jerez, we decide🌟d to treat the right forearm again and the operation was very quick: only 15 minutes. Now I am starting my recovery programme to be fit for the forthcominﷺg GP in Le Mans."
