The RNF Aprilia rider went und♉er the knife on Thursday to cure the problem which blighted his Spanish MotoGP last weekend.

He also retired🅠 from the Portuguese MotoGP, and did just three 🎀laps at Monday’s Jerez test, due to the issue.

"As you m💎ay already know, I finally had to have surgery,” Fernandez said. 

“First of all, I would sincerely thank 🐟Dr. Foruria for the incredible job he has done, because I was not suffering from a normal arm pump, as I had ꧋nine affected muscles. 

“Now the difficult part begins, since we have to prepare everything with the aim of 🌊arriving in France in the best possible way."

Fernandez previously explained how the injury was affecting him: “🐻I couldn’t stop the bike. I can’t feel my 🍃right hand.

“I went to the doꦏctor to see what we can do because it’s impossible to ri𓃲de in MotoGP like this. It’s impossible.

“I c🧸an’t say more about the race. I ended the race to show respect for Aprilia, for the peoಞple working in my team.

“I couldn’t ride t🔯he bike like this. It was super difficult.

“If I can’t brake? What can I do? Nothing!

“The problem now in MotoGP - we have more electronics, mor🐼e po🅠wer, more weight.

“Everything comes with more difficult things.

“Year by year, it is worse.

“On the bike, the first four ♒or f🅠ive laps are crazy. You cannot stop the bike. It is super-heavy.

“It is a big problem.”
