K♒TM MotoGP rider Pedro Acosta says the arm pump he recently had surgery on sometimes meant he ‘really suffered to op🌃en the hand’.

The 20-year-old underwent an operation fol✨lowing the Spanish Grand Prix to treat the compartment syndrome - or arm pump, as it is more commonly known - he had been struggl💃ing with.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta has been cleared to race this weekend at the French Grand Prix 💫having experienced an “easy recovery” from the operation.

The Spaniard was cautious to blame his recent struggles on the KTM so𝓡lely on his arm problems, but noted that his symptoms﷽ sometimes meant he couldn’t open his hand.

“Good, to be honest,” he told MotoGP’s official websiꦛte on Thursday at Le Mans when asked about his operation.

“A✤t the end, it was an easy surgery. Was an easy recovery also. Everything went as planned. For this, we have to be happy.

“Well, I mean it was not easy to race like this.

“Also we cannot put all of the blame on this prไoblem.

“But it’s also true that I went from having not so much, or finishing w♍ith little pain, to really suffer even to open the ha𒈔nd.

“For this, it’s not easy to race like this. But it’s done, it’s a thing we’ve taken out from our question bo🦹x. Now we go.”

Acosta comes into t🐼his weekend’s sixth round of the 2025 season 10th in the standingꩲs on 33 points having reverted to the 2024-spec KTM in recent races to try to improve his form.

While Acosta has been quick at Le Man🍸s ove♛r the years, he has failed to finish the previous three French GPs.

Looking ahead to the grand prix, he sa🌱id:  “I mean, we were quite competitive in the Jerez test.

“I was always quite fast🐻 every time that I came 🐓to Le Mans, but not with the best luck.

“For this, let’s take it easy. We don’t want to make any mess with the stitches still in the arm. We will ℱtake it ꦐeasy.”
