After suffering a major injury at the Mugello track, MotoGP rider Rins had to say goodbye to the tracks for seven races. However, with the positive news he received from his health checks, his expected return may happen one race earlier.
The Process Behind the Injury
Rins' accident in Mugello resulted in a broken right leg. This caused the driver to miss the track in the last seven races. However, information from the medical check-up in Madrid is promising.
Return Hopes
During the health checks carried out on Thursday morning, it was determined that Rins' health had improved. This means the driver could return one race earlier than planned. Hopes are rising again for Rins, who was announced to have missed India and Japan.
Driver Descriptions
Rins said about the comeback process: “I'm happy to be back. “I was in hospital in Madrid two days ago, talking to doctors and looking at x-rays, there was a huge difference compared to a month ago.”
Target: Friday Training
The driver stated that his goal was to perform pain-free in Friday training. However, he added that he had to be careful to control the pain he experienced during fast turns and right-hand bends.
Experiences of Temporary Drivers
The drivers who temporarily replaced Rins had difficulty coping with Honda's uneven performance. Stefan Bradl, Iker Lecuona and Takumi Takahashi struggled to fill Rins' shoes, and Takahashi's failure to continue the weekend after Saturday deepened the problems further.
