Xavi Vierge Undergoes Successful Surgery in Barcelona

Honda HRC rider Xavi Vierge has successfully undergone surgery to treat multiple fractures of the cuboid bone in his right foot. The injury was sustained during Race 2 of the recent Czech Round at Autodrom Most, when a blameless Vierge was caught up in a multi-rider collision at Turn 1.

Following initial medical assessment at the circuit, Vierge immediately returned to Spain for further evaluation by Dr. Xavier Mir at Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona. Detailed examinations confirmed the need for surgical intervention to stabilise the fractured bone.

The procedure included the insertion of four screws to fix the bone and was completed successfully.

Determined and fully committed as ever, Vierge is already focused on his recovery and will begin an intensive rehabilitation program right away. His treatment plan will include physiotherapy and hyperbaric chamber sessions, with the aim of accelerating the recovery process.

Xavi’s goal is to try and be back on track for the upcoming Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round, taking place at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” on June 13-15.

The Honda HRC team will provide further updates on Xavi Vierge’s recovery in due course.
