WorldSBK: Dominique Aegerter undergoes arm pump surgery ahead of Misano

Twice on the fr🐷ont row this season after taking WorldSBK by storm, Aegerter has been unable to avoid the same issues that cause so many riders problems.
Aegerter, who secured a season-best qualifying of P2 at last month’s Catalunya round, claimed three consecutive to𓂃p ten finishes in the rac🍷es for the second weekend in a row.

And while it was o🃏ne of the strongest rounds for the two-time WorldSSP champion, Aegerter has since undergone surgery after strugglingꦡ with arm pump.
Like most of the grid, Aegerter took part in the♊ recent two-day Misano test before having the surgery.
However, the Swiss rider won’t miss any time as he remains on course to take part in next month’s Misano ♏round, the first of two in Italy as Imola follows Misano and the British round at Donington Paඣrk.
"Arm pump surgery. Like many rꦕiders I also s𓆏truggled with pain in the forearm while riding the big bike," said Aegerter on his social media. "After many different therapies I decided to have an operation. Thanks to all the medical team."
A common issue, ဣnot just for riders that make the step up to a bigger bike, but also those who are experienced with 1000cc m𒅌achinery.
