The medical person in charge of the championship, Ángel Charte, He has had a job at the Red Bull Ring clinic, since several pilots were obliged to obtain the medical apt. In MotoGP were Franco Morbidelli and Maverick Viñales, in Moto2, Diogo Moreira and in Moto3 Cormac Buchanan, Ruche Moodley, Joel Kelso and Vicente Pérez. Everyone received the “Apt”, although that of Maverick Viñales is provisional. After FP1, this Friday you must pass a new check to get the OK for the rest of the Grand Prix, something that most of the time is usually mere procedure.
It was the most peliaguda lesion, since that of Roses in the highside in the Q2 of Sachsenring fractured the trophiter of the left shoulder with an affectation of the supraespinous ligament and had to go through the operating room in Italy.
“It will be slow, and these types of injuries need about 16 weeks to heal completely. Being here five weeks later, it is already a victory. The goal is, listen to my body and get to the motorcycle. The speed is sure that it will be there.”

What worries him most is the rigidity that he still presents: “It is the fifth week from the operation and every day I notice an important improvement, although I still have a stiffness in the shoulder, which is the most limiting right now. The strength is better than I expected, but mobility is something that requires patience and constant work with the physiotherapist. The operation was perfect and the recovery goes well, but everything is still healing, so it is still healing.
For him to be back on the motorcycle it was important: “I want to take some turns to understand at what point I am and recover sensations with the motorcycle. For me it is important, first, because I really want to roll and, second, because it will help me to know how to continue the recovery work. It is not about looking for the maximum performance, but about evaluating my physical state and progressively adapt.”
“The fundamental thing is to listen to the body. It is better to stop a bit now and return one hundred percent in three or four races, than to force too much and not be well until the end of the season. The deadlines are being fulfilled even a little earlier than expected: the minimum recovery is fourteen weeks and I am in week five, so being able to be here is already a victory.”
