Successful arm pump surgery on right forearm for Xavi Vierge

Xavi Vierge has undergone successful surgery on his right forearm to relieve ‘arm pump’ (compartment syndrome), which caused him problems during the last two WorldSBK championship rounds in Donington (UK) and Most (Czech Republic).

Back in Barcelona (Spain) after the race weekend, the Team HRC rider sought medical advice at the Dexeus University Hospital and the decision was taken to proceed with surgery.
