Operated last week with a lodges syndrome, Somkiat Chantra will not be given enough. The LCR Honda team pilot, Johann Zarco teammate, is forced to the package for the Grand Prix de France and will not make the trip to the Sarthe.
The Thais was operated on with an ARM-Pump a week ago in Barcelona, after abandoning during the Spanish Grand Prix because of the pain and then not having participated in the morning of the test organized the next day, still on the Jerez circuit. He may not be replaced for this round, and his return is hoped for the next Grand Prix, in Silverstone.
“Somkiat Chant will not participate in the Grand Prix de France because he continues his convalescence after his operation of a Pup-Pump which took place on April 30”indicates LCR Honda.
“After a postoperative examination, Dr. Xavier Mir, who practiced the intervention, recommended leaving more time to Somkiat to find all his forces before resuming the competition. Although his rehabilitation progresses well, he is not yet able to run.”
Finding itself in a similar case at KTM, Pedro Acosta, on the other hand, received the medical green light to go to Le Mans, and still has to pass the MotoGP doctors on Thursday to receive the final authorization to take over the track.
An approval that Miguel Oliveira will also need, finally back after being operated on the left shoulder, to which the Pramac pilot was injured in the sprint of the Argentine Grand Prix.
Let us also recall that the defending world champion Jorge Martín will still miss the call, and that he will once again be replaced by Lorenzo Savadori at Aprilia.
