Second MotoGP rider undergoes arm pump surgery after Spanish GP
Two riders have needed surgery since Jerez round

LCR Honda has annou✅nced that MotoGP rookie Somkiat Chantra underwent surgery for arm pump on Wednesday after it forced him out of the Spanish Grand Prix.
The tight layout of the Jerez circuit often gives riders problems with arm pump, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Somkiat Chantra suffering from the syndrome during last Sဣunday’s grand prix.
Compartment syndrome, commonly known as arm pump, occurs when repeated physical stress restricts blood flow in the for♔earm, leading to a painful loss of strength and feeling.
Famously, in 2022, Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo dropp🙈ed from the lead of the Spanish GP to 13th in the closing stages having been severely affected by arm pump.
LCR rider Chantra was forced to pull out of the race after ඣ14 laps and has since undergone surgery in Barcelona.
He will be assessed next week priorღ to being passed fit to race at the French Grand Prix.
A brief statement from the team read: “Idemitsu Honda LCR rider Somkiat Chantra underwent successful surgery on the afternoon of April 30 at Hospital Univer🍰sitari Dexeus in Barcelona to treat arm pump.
“The procedure was performed by renowned doctor Dr. Xavier Mir.
“The operation went smoothly, a💝nd Somkiat is🉐 now beginning his recovery process.
“He has already been discharged from the hospital and is continuing ✤his rehabilitation in Ba🅷rcelona.
“Next Tuesday, he will undergo a medical check-up to asse🍷ss his condition, as he awaits clearance to be decl𝓡ared fit to ride.
“He is now𝓀 focused on making a full recovery ahead of the upcoming grand prix in Le Mans.”
Chantra was꧋ able to ride in the post-race test at Jerez on Monday, but his runs were limited to the afternoon session due to his arm pump.
It’s been a tough start to his rookie campaign for MotoGP’s first ཧThai rid💙er, who is yet to score points on his satellite Honda.
His best result so far in 2025 has been a 16th-place finish at the Americas G𒁏rand Prix at the end ꦅof March.
Chantra is the second rider this week to require surgery for arm pump, with KTM’s Pedro Acosta goꦛing under the surgeon’s knife on Tuesday evening.
He is also expected to bജe cleared to race at next weekend’s French GP at🐭 Le Mans.
