Red Bull KTM Factory's Pedro Acosta has reportedly undergone successful minor surgery on his right wrist. The aim was to address symptoms such as numbness and loss of sensation, and he is said to be preparing for the next round, the German GP at the Sachsenring.
Numbness in the right hand is way more of a nightmare for us riders than people might imagine. Throttle control lives and dies by fingertip feel. Acosta's decision to deal with it before a stretch of back-to-back races was the right call. I'll be watching closely to see whether his real sharpness comes back at the Sachsenring.

How much hospitalization or recovery time does a 'minor surgery' like this actually take?
The thought that he was racing while dealing with numbness in his hand is a genuinely brutal story.
Whether Acosta can ride at full strength looks set to affect the title fight too.
The speed of preparation to properly make it in time for the next round is impressive.
Curious about the timeline of when the numbness or loss of sensation symptoms actually started.
Calling it 'minor surgery' probably means it wasn't all that serious.
Precisely because 'minor' is the official statement, there are cases where it's better to take it cautiously.
