JAKARTA - Japanese racer Takaaki Nakagami successfully underwent surgery on his right finger. This is the impact of the horror accident that happened to him during the Aragon MotoGP race, last weekend.
Nakagami experienced an incident during the new race one lap. He collided with Marc Marquez while trying to eat up Turn 8 before finally falling.
As a result of the accident, the tendons of his ring finger and right hand were damaged and had to be operated.
It is not yet known how long it will take him to recover. He is also threatened with not being able to race at home, Japan's MotoGP, on September 25.
LCR Honda, the team that oversees Nakagami, said the rider continues to struggle to be able to race in Motegi.
"We believe the damage to the tendon will not prevent him from racing at home," the LCR team said in a statement on their Twitter account, as reported by Antara.
Nakagami will undergo a medical at the Motegi Circuit before the first free practice session begins. Determination of his fate will be determined there.
For LCR, Nakagami's injury is like a blow. The reason is, their other driver, Alex Marquez also suffered an arm injury after having an accident in the Aragon MotoGP warm-up session.
