Hayden undergoes surgery, hopeful for Catalunya MotoGP
As planned, former MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden underwent surgery on his ri🔴ght 💮wrist in Italy on Tuesday.
Hayden had made the surgery decision after being forced to withdraw from the Italian round on Saturday, due to ongoing pain and inflammation spreading from the wrist joint to the🏅 whole hand.
It is not clear what triggered the wrist problems, which first appeared during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend at J❀erez earlier this month.
According to Hayden's Drive 7 Aspar team, 'an arthroscopic cleaning procedure was carried out on his right wrist and some floating matter was removed. Nicky was also injected with an anti-inf🐻lammatory to reduce the swelling and loosen the joint.'
Surgery was carried out by Dr. Riccard♏o Luchetti in Morciano di Ro🐼magna, Italy, starting at 8:10am and lasting around an hour and a half.
Hayden will be discharged later today, 'then he will rest and recover, with the hope of returning next week in time for the GP of Ca꧋talunya'.
Peter has been i🎃n the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Ros🧸si come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
