Alex Rins was distracted and crashed into a parked car while training on his bike on the Barcelona circuit yesterday. He was taken to the Dexeus University Hospital in Barcelona where he was diagnosed with an intra-articular transstyloid fracture of the distal radius of his right arm. To speed his recovery he had an operation this morning, which went well.
DR. Xavier Mir, head of the hand, elbow and microsurgery department, takes stock of the situation: “Today Alex Rins underwent minimally invasive surgery with cannulated compression screws. If there are no complications, I think he can start functional rehab next Monday. “We do not rule out that he will be able to start at the Sachsenring within two weeks. “
